845 supplied 75 percent of the aviation cover in Borneo at one point.

Royal Air Force support was increasingly organised around secure Cold War bases and large European depots, which reduced its mobility at austere forward locations. Fleet Air Arm systems built for the constrained and sometimes uncertain supply conditions aboard carriers adapted well to Borneo.
