Thanks you for your comments. Yes the journey time by air is a bit different today.
I returned to Singapore in 1986 on a 747 with Singapore Airlines. I asked to visit the Flight Deck which was possible at that time. While there the First Officer, a Sinaporean, asked:'Have you been to Singapore before?' I replied; 'Yes I was there from 1956 to 1958''. He replied: 'Good God I was not even born then'
