The second combat type operated by the RAF to reach the scene were Hawker Hunter FGA.Mk 9s of No. 20 Squadron. Originally dating back to 1915, this squadron served with RAF Germany before being disestablished in 1960. A year later, it was re-established at RAF Tengah in Singapore, and equipped with Hunter FGA.Mk 9s that wore the standardised camouflage pattern in dark grey and dark green on upper surfaces, and high-speed silver finish on undersides. No. 20 Squadron’s rectangular marking was applied on the nose flanking the eagle emblem applied on a white circle, while nose-wheel doors were painted in red with a white XX on the top portion and the aircraft’s letter code below.
