Is this the same squadron, or at least part of it, which has based itself at RAF Kai Tak in Hong Kong from 1965 to 1970? I can see no mention of it here.Wilfred Pau 02:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

RAF Butterworth edit

Frustratingly, the Malayan Emergency section makes no mention of the Squadron being based at RAF Butterworth and the previous reference to the squadron flying Venoms has been removed. I supplied the photograph of 45 Squadron at Butterworth from my late father's log books. Would the obituary of the commanding officer at that time provide the required evidence? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11415839/Air-Commodore-Geoffrey-Cooper-obituary.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heraldic (talkcontribs) 20:41, 30 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi - Many thanks for the very helpful obituary for Air Commodore Geoffrey Cooper. It certainly would, in my view, provide the necessary verification and I have included it. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 21:33, 30 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
