Guess who Singapore hired to repair those broken flying machines ? Yes, good old IAF personnel! 100s of Indian Air Force's aircraft technicians from HAL were recruited for 2-year stints by the RAF to repair whatever junk the USAF had sold to Singapore. Ofcourse entire Singapore is smaller than the city of Bangalore, wonder why they need an Air Force at all. My dad was one of those IAF technicians who repaired these broken USAF planes for RAF. As a kid, I stayed at the Singapore Air Force base & watched them paint over the USAF logo with the Singapore emblem.
