Reinforcements arrive in the Far East to supplement the defensive air forces; 51 Hurricanes arrive in Singapore, 48 Hurricanes in Sumatra and 30 Hurricanes and Blenheims arrived in Burma from the Middle East.

Hurricane Mk IIB arrived in January 1942. And by that time it was way too late to stop the Japanese onslaught. The squadron was later withdrawn to the island of Sumatra.
