Old Hairy:

Many thanks for the story so far. You really did have the best of it. Not only did you get to fly some of the most fantastic aircraft (Wellington, Hastings, Lancaster), you flew Sunderlands and saw the Princess Flying Boat close up. I have only seen photographs and a couple of videos of the Princess. Agreed it was a shame that she did not go into service, but progress with land bound aircraft had already overtaken her.

If you were at Seletar, you were at the at the RAF base that saw the last operational flights for a number of aircraft (Singapore, Sunderland, Mosquito, Beuafighter). Were you there in the insurgency?

So, yes, more please.
