Newspaper FLights from Singapore

Thanks 828a,

Your information is most interesting. I wish I could talk to the people you mentioned!

Am reading a book, "Dateline Singapore - 150 years of the Straits Times", by Mary Turnbull which was published in 1995. In it, there was mention of Straits Times using its company's own aircraft to carry matrices between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore with a footnote that this info was extracted from a February 1960 Director's Report. Could this aircraft be the chartered Cessnas you mentioned?

My records showed MAC operated two Cessna 310s (9M-AME & 9M-AMH) and a Cessna 185 (9M-AMK) in the 1960s.

Does anyone also have any information relating to four Avro Ansons operated by a Chinese Newspaper, with the title "Nanyang Airways" painted above the fuselage windows?

Most grateful for any help.
