Hi Zahi

The aircraft is a de Havilland Vampire F.B Mk.9 built under license by
English Electric Company Limited of Preston, Lancashire.

The most likely unit is No. 45 (F) Squadron. It was based at R.A.F.
Station Butterworth, Malaya. The squadron operated the Vampire F.B. Mk.
9 there from May 1955 to January 1956.

Two other possibilities a

No. 28 (F) Squadron based at R.A.F. Station Sek Kong, Hong Kong and
later R.A.F. Station Kai Tek, Hong Kong and later back to Sek Kong, Hong
Kong. They operated the type in that region from February 1952 to
August 1956. Two of the aircraft operated by the squadron were serial
numbers WG874 and WG877.

No. 60 (F) Squadron was based at R.A.F. Station Tengah, Singapore from
March 1952 to August 1955 while operating the Vampire F.B. Mk. 9.

Can you please contact me at: .

Cheers...Chris
