Indonesian Dakota shot down by Dutch Neptune

Hi Brian,

I found the date of this claim on Wikipeda: "On 2 September, three C-130 set off from Jakarta for Peninsula Malaysia, flying low to avoid detection by radar. The following night (3 September), two of the C-130 managed to reach their objective with their onboard PGT paratroopers, who jumped off and landed around Labis in Johore (about 100 miles north of Singapore), while the remaining one C-130 crashed into the Malacca Straits trying to evade interception by an RAF Javelin FAW 9 launched from RAF Tengah."

...but according to the RAF Historical Society Journal 13 (http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research...0Indonesia.pdf) no claim was made. "the pilot overshot as the target speed was so slow and he failed to regain contact."

Looks like a real mystery.

Cheers,
Peter
