30 JULY 1945
Second Lieutenant Bryan Guess, pilot of "Playmate Six Two", depated Morotai at 0300, setting course for Balikpapan, Borneo where he arrived at 0930. Due to a delay in contacting the station on Melintang Lake, departure was delayed until 1500 when, with an officer from AIB, and one from the RAAF Rescue Squadron, course was set for Melintang Lake in Eastern Borneo. Lieutenant Guess arrived over the lake at 1645 and landed in very shallow muddy water, taxied up the river towards the village and awaited the arrival of the evacuees. Five seriously wounded Indonesians with three escorts were taken aboard at 1730. Their wounds were dressed and take-off accomplished at 1745. The evacuees were landed at Seppinggang at 1900.

Due to weather and errors in navigation the native village was strafed by a flight of Spitfires on 27 July 1945 killing six and wounding five of the natives. The facilities of the rescue service were immediately made available for the evacuation of the wounded survivors which, due to the small size of the lake and the shallow water, was an extremely hazardous but successful mission.
