Veterans of the British military campaign in Borneo have gathered in London at the launch of a book about their exploits.

'Borneo Boys' tells the real-life stories of the young men who flew helicopters over the South East Asian jungle during the 1960s, defending Malaysia from Indonesian expansion.

The book launch was a chance for the men to reunite and reflect on their service.
