No. 45 Squadron, RAF, was home-based at RAF Tengah and one of two ground-attack units of the Far East Air Force (FEAF). In 1962, it was reequipped with Canberra B.Mk 15s – a variant deployed by the Near East Air Force and FEAF only, and thus rarely seen in Europe. Based on the B.Mk 6, this version was optimised for low-level attack and equipped with two underwing pylons capable of carrying a 1,000lbs bomb or a Mighty Mouse pod for 37 2.75in/68mm unguided rockets. This is a reconstruction of the B.Mk 15 serial number WH969, forward deployed to Labuan on 8–9 December 1963, and then flown by Wing Commander Pedder in one of the first armed reconnaissance missions over Sarawak. The jet was painted in dark sea grey and dark green on upper surfaces and sides, and high-speed silver on undersurfaces. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
