Re: Indonesian Dakota shot down by Dutch Neptune

Hi Peter

IIRC the Javelin was from 46 Squadron (apparently not, probably 60 Squadron), presumably based at Singapore. I've read a comment somewhere that one of its Firestreak missiles was missing on its return, implying that it may have shot down the C-130. Further research definitely required.

IIRC, a distinguished Australian WW2 pilot was lost during this time while gun-running, his aircraft being shot down by ??

Not much help, but it may jog someone else's memory!

Cheers
Brian
