Britain to withdraw part of heavy bomber force in Far East
Britain plans eventually to withdraw about a substantial number of troops from eastern Malaysia and North Borneo while maintaining forces in Singapore. The Guardian reported V bombers will return to Britain within days and be followed by Canberra bombers as part of post confrontation drawdown. New Zealand will pull its Borneo infantry battalion next month and reduce naval mine-sweeper support in Singapore. Indonesian recognition of Malaysia awaits post election, with trade and cultural ties to resume. A former Air Force officer in Jakarta was jailed for life for leading an attempted coup in October.
