There has been talk of an elusive 'SEAC News', and although I know nothing of this I do have two copies of the "Journal of the Air Forces India and Far East Edition"Volume 2 Nos 2 and 9 dated 10th of March and 16th of June 1944. Could these 'Journals' be what has been thought to be the 'SEAC News'?

My late father kept these two journals as they both contain poems he contributed whilst attached to Air HQ India before joining No 215 Squadron (Wellington 10s and then Liberators). The first poem, 'Sundial Serenade' was really one way of having a dig at what I take to be the office responsible for postings to outlandish camps, described as '557'. (Danny, do you recall if this was so?) The second poem, 'Temporary Duty - And How' describes being ordered to attend a Tiger Hunt, completely 'tongue in cheek', of course.
