I42
You are absolutely correct! Nicoll Highway not Kallang Highway - the old brain cells let me down!
I think it did or does cross part of the old Kallang Airfield.
SWMBO and I managed to afford 7 holidays in Singapore and Malaysia from 1988, the last in 2002. Seeing your photos is making me think of going again, however I have to balance that against the fact that since 9/11 the whole flying thing has become a complete pain.
Back in the days of flight deck access I often presented my LHR ATC business card and asked to go up front for a chat. The most interesting crew I met was on a Malaysian flight from Sandakan to Kinabalu - both pilots were and looked Burmese.
