@ Brian 48nav ... what a shame! Some very interesting tales disappeared down the drain there. And what an 'interesting' career Douglas had!

Not that we will be able easily to verify, but there were 2 relevant Units in Singapore at that time:
  • Bukit Gombak was the Air Defence radar unit, and would almost certainly have had a gp capt OC.
  • Paya Lebar [then the main airport] was also the home of Singapore Radar, a joint Civil/Military Area ATC outfit, and would have had a wg cdr OC RAF element at best.
