Home-based at RAF Seletar, in Singapore, Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer CC.Mk 1s of No. 209 Squadron, appeared in their peacetime livery early during the Borneo Stand-off. This consisted of white on top surfaces, and high-speed silver finish on undersurfaces, with a blue cheat line in between, and most of their fins and outer wing panels painted in red. The type proved highly successful thanks to its short take-off and landing performance which enabled it to operate from strips as short as 900ft/275m and was thus intensively deployed for local transport and liaison work.
