I recall from previous posts on the WWII Brevet forum that you trained at 1BFTS where my dad had trained on an earlier course, but I did not realise that you were stationed in Changi when I was pottering about there awaiting a return flight to the UK on a Hermes in late 1958.
I will not post the details, but you are correct about the generous allowances, including flying pay, a posting to FEAF brought. One of the many perks was a free flight out during the summer school hols for my older brother who was at boarding school in the UK.
