I know the late Capt Armit Tilgner was an instructor at SEA Helicopters. Late he flew for Hornbill skyways a couple of years before he died in a crash in Sarawak. Used to enjoy listening to his war stories. I was a young co pilot with the Air Force at the time (1978).
The Chinese Air Force officer who seemed to know everybody mentioned here must be the RMAF check pilot at SEA ,Mej Benjamin Lee. Ben Lee us now retired in NZ.
I also know of another Malaysian the late Capt Nasir Ma Lee who flies for SEA.
