I was posted to Changi in 1962.
Our eldest daughter was born in RAF Changi Hospital.
A few weeks later I was posted to the RAF Element - RAAF Butterworth.
I stayed there for the rest of my tour.
I spent 90% of my time on 52 Sqdn. In December 1962 Konfrontasi started so I spent a lot of time out on detachment to RAF Labuan.
After returning to the UK I was posted to RAF Wyton, 61 Sqdn. I managed another trip back to Changi for a six week detachment with 61.
The mess at that time (around1966 - 67) was fabulous. The best RAF Mess that I ever saw in the RAF.
