Lauriebe re. Glugor
Last March I was on a cruise ship that called in at Penang. I was determined to visit the jetty at Glugor that we used on our detachment to the armament practice range north of Penang. The last time I visited Penang was 1985 which made it difficult to give directions to the taxi driver. We found where the jetty used to be, now about half a mile inland ! It is called reclamation.
For a brief time in 1952 Aquila Airways flew some trooping/families charters through Penang between the UK and Singapore. One Solent on a tech stop from Seletar to China Bay was holed by the refuelling barge. Fortunately a patch held and it returned to Seletar where it went into the hangar for repairs. Years later the Captain of that Solent became the Operations Director of a major UK airline.
