Warmtoast, your RAF Thornhill posting coincides pretty closely with my father's, but we probably missed you in Singapore, as we had only been there a few weeks when Dad was seconded to RAF Katunayake, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to fly the supply runs to Gan during the building of the runway. We were there for almost a year, until April 1959. Dad was Flt.Lt. O.C. Douglas, known to all as Joe. Correction, he was known as Dougie in the RAF and Joe at home, must have been confusing
The photo shop in Changi village was familiar. I was given a Brownie camera for my birthday and used to spend all my pocket money on films and developing.
