First flight (age3) back from singapore in the mid 50s in a Casavac aircraft as my sister was ill. I think it was a Hastings. Took 5 days flying all day and stopping overnight to allow the stretcher cases to go to hospital. Arrived temporarily deaf! Went back out to Singapore about a year later by troop ship! Next flight was also in singapore in a Beverley a couple of years later then back to the uk in a Brittania.
