Summary: Film showing the living conditions during the monsoon season for good-humoured men of 2962 Squadron RAF Regiment stationed in Batavia, Dutch East Indies (Jakarta, Indonesia).
Description: An airman, his upper body covered in tattoos, sits up to his waist in muddy water. Laughing airmen standing about. Interior of a flooded tent, apparently once quite comfortable and well-equipped with books, writing material, furniture and a wireless set. Airmen and local people chasing elusive ducks or water fowl. Airmen in swimming trunks or shorts. Two airmen tip water out of a metal trunk. An airman, somewhat optimistically, hangs a pair of socks out to dry.
