Upgently,
Till about 2003 there were no fences around Changi Base and you could wander around. Unfortunately, Singapore was threatened by 'a known terrorist organisation' and all the military establishments were fenced.
The original front wall and entrance to Changi Prison is still there.....but it is hidden inside the large prison complex.
Totally agree with you about the Yacht Club.
One of my fellow instructors was a keen sailor and rented an apartment close to the Yacht Club. The club bar was his local.
One day he came into work covered in cuts and bruises. His explanation was that, after a few beers, he had tried to take a shortcut from the club to his apartment.......and fell down a monsoon drain!
I wonder how many people reading this have 'been there, done that'
