Royal Singapore Flying Club Chipmunk overshoot:

prospector:

It wasn't you so you can rest easy. The incident occurred about February 1962. I did not note anything about it in my log book because we had to submit it to the Chief Pilot for checking and authenticating twice a year and what occurred was best forgotton. I did some interesting Chipmunk flying with the Royal Singapore Flying Club about the time you were there, it was payroll dropping into isolated rubber plantations necessary because of the threat of insurgents ambushing payroll armoured cars carrying cash by road for paying the wages of the rubber tappers. It was all good fun, the Britannia one day and the Chipmunk the next. Regards
