Following the Japanese surrender, 48 Squadron moved to Changi on Singapore in 1946. From here it flew transport services to Rangoon and Hong Kong, performed air drops to remote jungle forts and outposts during the Malayan Emergency, supplied the Far East Land Forces, and participated in the suppression of the Brunei Revolt. RAF Changi's Station Commander was at this time Group Captain J.E.P. Thompson, and 48 Squadron's Commander Wing Commander J.M. Crowley. In 1967 Britain announced it would be withdrawing its forces from the region. 48 Squadron was out by October with the base handed over to Singapore. Most of the other British forces were out by 1971, with a token presence to 1976. This contains a history of 48 Squadron, the Order of Ceremony, biography of Reviewing Officer Air Marshal Sir Rochford Hughes, Air Commander of the Far East Air Forces (FEAF), decorations won during the two World Wars, aircraft flown from 1917 (Bristol fighters) to 1957-67 (Hastings), and notification of the Service for Handing over of the Squadron's standard. The apology laid in informs that Hughes is unable to attend, and has been replaced at short notice by Air Vice Marshal I.J. Spencer, identifying him as Air OIC Administration and Air Officer Commanding FEAF HQ Group, and giving his service record.
