Malayan Airways: Singapore
bcgallacher:
Did you know that Arthur Larkman left Malayan Airways to join Dan Air. He became Director of Flight Operations there and wote a book about his experiences in Malayan Airways. The book is called "Chance Encounters". Amazon have three copies for sale. You have to enter "Chance Encounters book by Arthur Larkman straight into your search section rather than enter via Amazon first as this brings up dozens of the same title but not Arthur's book. There is another book entitled "Luck is No Accident" by Colin King that deals with his time as a pilot with Malayan Airways. Also put title straight into your search section.
I understand how you enjoyed your days in Singapore. The standard of engineering as set by people like your father was very high. In ten years flying the DC-3 for Malayan Airways I never saw a mechanical problem that delayed a flight for even 5 minutes. Amazing!!!
