Kawanishi H6K in British Service

British Troops in Indonesia found a Kawanishi H6KK-2L at Sourabaya, Java, where it had been in the possession of Indonesian Nationalists. Members of RAF 3210 Servicing Commando undertook maintenance of the flying boat. Photographs show the H6K2 with overpainted Japanese markings, green surrender crosses and Indonesian markings along with a Dutch flag pained on the fuselage.

The same aircraft was later moved to Seletar in Singapore, where it received RAF markings and was tested by the British Air Technical Intelligence Unit.
