Penang & Butterworth & Alor Star
What a lovely thread! We lived in Alor Star '58 & '59, my Dad was in SMIS there. Had lots of excitement with Auster pilots dropping the latest NAAFI supplies (mainly Craven A, I seem to remember) over our house in Tanah Mera (sp?). I once had a tour of an Aussie C130 at Butterworth and, as a young lad, was just amazed at the size of the thing.
Ah, and the Runnymead..... Sheer bliss as we tore up and down the corridors while the parents were downstairs for dinner. And what was the name of the swimming club up the road? Tanglin?
Very happy days.
