BRIEF NO. H.K. 12
PHANTOM VISITS TO HONG KONG
1. Whenever operationally convenient, arrangements are made for
a small detachment of Phantom aircraft to fly to Hong Kong while
they are temporarily stationed at Tengah for the twice-yearly Pale
Jade exercise. These aircraft (usually two) remain in Hong Kong for
a maximum of two days and during that time undertake a number of
•
"flag-waving" fly rasts.
2.
The next Pale Jade exercise is due in March/April but for
operational reasons it will not be possible to release any aircraft
for the flight to Hong Kong. However provisional arrangements have
been made for a Phantom to visit Hong Kong in August during the
subsequent Fale Jade exercise.
3. This is not a contentious matter and the subject is not expected
to be raised during your visit.
