RNAS Trincomalee Version 1 By Daniel "GZR_Crop1/Crop_335th" Mobbs 08/03/01

History
RNAS Trincomalee was orginaly built as RAF China Bay, and handed over to the Fleet Air Arm in November 1944, it was home to 733 Squadron with Supermarine Seafires (Navalised Spitfires) and also host to Fairely Fireflys, Supermarine Sea Otters, Walruses for Air Sea Rescue, Vultee Vengances and Fairley Burracudas. It also played host to RAF DeHavaland Mosquitos and Beufighters of 45 squadron at various times. As with most aspects and the British campaing against the Japanease in the Far East details are hard to come. The layout of the base is completely imaginary and inspiresd by an article in the July 2000 edition of Flypast magazine entitled Staying In Control by Able Seaman John Lindop about his time at Trincomalle between late 1945 and Novemeber 1947 when the base was closed.
