During the Vietnam War, the skies of Southeast Asia were not limited to aircraft directly involved in the conflict. Life went on for the various air forces in nearby countries, including the Royal Air Force based in Singapore. Here, one of their aircraft is paying a visit to Pleiku Air Base in South Vietnam. The plane is, of course, a Gloster Javelin – a FAW9R from No. 60 Squadron, RAF Tengah. May 1967 is the date on the photo.
Note the variety of USAF birds: C-123s, an F-100, and an RF-101. There was a war on.
