Can anyone add to this.....did it move to other squadrons?

Does anyone know when the Tempest group was placed at the Poona (Pune) airfield as decoys?

Ando, I can't help with any information about this airframe but as an airshow-goer and enthusiast I just wanted to say how interesting it is to see a little of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into airshow commentary, particularly for such an exciting aircraft project.

K5054NZ, Thanks for the comments. No-one really knows just how much work actually goes into my commentary and I don't put it out there. I can only speak for me regarding this but I want everything perfect. As we all know it does not happen that way but if I am commentating on this beautiful machine and there is an Indian aviation enthusiast in the audience, I would want him to be satisfied that the data on the aircraft from his perspective was correct. Who knows.....it may even get me a gig in India !!!  Really hoping I get the opportunity to talk about this magnificent machine. It may not be in its Indian markings but by God it looks fantastic.

Another question.....did No.33 Sqn only operate Tempest II from Kuala Lumpur or were they also operated from Butterworth ?
