Have to agree with Blacksheep's proposal of Changi - I spent a very happy childhood there. Having revisited the place since, it's nice to see that Singapore's Armed Forces are putting the place to good use, although sadly many of the original RAF buildings are now decrepit because they lack air conditioning - in fact the saddest thing to see was that the Lloyd Leas MQs are now used as a punishment centre for druggies: No Air Conditioning = Harsh Punishment in today's Singapore!

As to my own service, I was happy at Newton, but very cold in the wartime Nissen huts St Mawgan then used for visiting officers - it was enough to drive a man to the bar, fortunately!
