Photo Comment

From my late fathers collection. My Dad was a pilot on the squadron at the time. Three Gloster Javelin FAW9R's of the RAF's 64 Squadron from RAF Tengah in Singapore May 1967. Taken from a fourth Javelin. Nearest is XH708 / P which crashed within days of this photo being taken. Furthest from camera is XH766. XH708 was delivered to the RAF on 11 July 1957 and crashed on 30 May 1967 in a collision with XH896 10 miles northwest of Tengah. The crew of XH708 were killed.
