Tartan Giant:
It all makes sense to me now seeing those Yorks coming and going from Labuan in 1957. I always wondered what they were doing but it was not for me to ask (farm machinery eh). They added some colour to a rather quiet place only populated by Malayan Airways DC3s and their (Borneo Airways) Rapides. Cathay Pacific Airways arrived once a week in their DC4 but that was about it. Your mention of Captain John Cameron reminds me that even though he left Malayan Airways before I joined there was a legion of stories about him. It seems there were three captains there who were good mates. John Cameron, Arthur Larkman and Joe Hutchison. These three gentlemen came from the same mould. I became close friends with Joe Hutchison who stayed on with Malayan Airways, we flew together often on the DC3 and 102 Britannia (which was on lease from BOAC) and shared many a laugh. Regards
