Another transport type to see action early during the Brunei revolt was the Handley Page Hastings C.Mk 1. Several examples from No. 48 Squadron, RAF – including serial TG569 illustrated here – became involved in flying in reinforcements from airports in the Singapore area in December 1962. Through the following year, they were also deployed to drop supplies for troops underway deep in the jungles of Borneo where there were next to no roads. Hastings of No. 48 Squadron were painted in high-speed silver finish overall, with the upper half of their fuselage in white, and a cheat line in dark blue down the full length of their fuselages. A black serial was always applied on the rear fuselage, and its ‘last three’ repeated on the fin. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
