Thanks for that dragartist,
With today's depleted Air Force, we tend to forget just how big some of the overseas bases were. Take Akrotiri and Changi for example - thousands of personnel and lots of aircraft. Both bases had their own transport squadrons.
Have a look at this picture of the Airmens Swimming Pool on Turnhouse Rd:
This was a large, modern, facility which - in the late 60's - would have been the envy of any military base. I took the pic in 2009. Singapore Airlines used it for dinghy drill for a while, but that was years ago. The red roofed buildings in the background are the Yacht Club.
Changi had two periods of major construction. One was in the mid 1930s and the second was after the Second World War.
According to a plaque over the front porch, Fairy Point Officers Mess was built in 1935 and this building, on Turnhouse Rd, has a plaque dated 1934.
According to the Changi map, this was the Chalet Club:
It is now a fish restaurant.
Last picture for today........the sports pavilion on the Padang Sports Field:
I bet a few of you have memories of that.
