Before the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan, the RAF's bomber Command had beed mustering a sizeable bomber force within Bomber Command, called Tiger Force, to take the bombing offensive to Japan. With the war over, this force was cut down and retained as part of Bomber Command, but squadrons within it were rotated to Middle and Far East bases both for training purposes and to be there in case of fresh outbreaks of fighting as happened in Indonesia. With the end of the war in Europe, No.9 Squadron was allotted to the Tiger Force, with the Squadron arriving at Salbania, India, in January 1946 after the Japanese had surrendered. The Lancasters carried out photographic duties and returned to the UK in April.
