Thanks for those Singapore images gents(?) - one of them answers a question I've been pondering for years when "in town" on trips with the airline and staring out of my hotel window (I hasten to add: not The Raffles).......i.e. the provenance of the red brick building on Beach Road directly opposite the main entrance to Raffles, to my eye it always looked suspiciously like a military or associated structure ......Now at last I have the answer.
As some will probably know, but some won't it (the NAAFI building) is still there, in v good condition (think it was recently refurbished ), though dwarfed by hotels now and a long way from any beach.
