Notes

Lord Killearn was appointed as a Special Commissioner in order to coordinate economic policy across the British area of influence in South East Asia. Of particular concern were the problems of food supply and reconstruction.

Aircraft's serial number appears to be LV 633, which would make this particular Avro York Winston Churchill's personal aircraft 'Ascalon'.
