Old memories
My father was posted to 52 Squadron in 1958 and the whole family flew to Singapore in June, but were only there for a month before he was sent to Katunayake, and the family decamped to Ceylon. He was flying Valettas back and forth to Gan until April 1959 when the runway was complete and we all returned to Singapore. I have an old photo of the Gan aircrews seated in front of a Valetta. Dad was posted to Far East Comm Squadron on his return to Singapore and spent the next 2 years ferrying VIPs around the Far East.
