Ah, the Beverley (just discovered this thread).
I was on 390MU, Seletar from1966 to 1968. Seletar was also home to 34 Sqn Beverleys. When the Belvederes of 66 Sqn Kuching detachment needed extra help to catch up on modifications I was despatched to Kuching on a Beverley. Must say I found the flight (up in the boom) to be very peaceful and relaxing. The aircrew were reputed to navigate outbound by dead-reckoning and then return by following the oil slick...........
Sad to say that later in my tour I was a member of the working party sent across Seletar airfield to strip the Bevs of anything useful then chop/hack/saw the twin tailplane off, prior to local scrap merchants descending mob-handed to finish the job. Had I been tasked with carrying out a similar task on the Whistling Tits, I would have done it with much greater gusto!
