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
