Cameron Hotel
A 2006 photo of the Cameron Hotel, thanks to Peter
Chan. It was popular with RAF personnel in transit to the UK
after their engagement was over. Cameron Hotel is located at Guan
Soon Avenue, off Upper Changi Road. Jeffery Abdullah adds,
that this hotel is located very near to Simei Housing Estate. If you
take the MRT, the station that you need to alight will be SIMEI MRT Stn
and then its a walking distance cutting through the footpath next to the
new condominiums and private houses. |

Airmen Swimming Pool located at the Padang Sports Field,
Turnhouse Road. In modern context, the old pool is now occupied by the
SIA (Singapore Airlines) Club House. The Padang Sports Field is still
around and mainly used as a football pitch. Occasionally cricket is
played. (by Peter Chan)
