Tengah Primary school cricket team 1970. We won the
Singapore primary school championships that year, proud to say I was
captain. Ed Sweeney was the teacher and Bernie Crossey was the
wicketkeeper.
I am seated front row second from the right, it would be great to find
someone that was in the photo or know someone that is. |

My thanks to Gary Clift for these photos. Gary said that "My late father Peter Albert James Clift was with 60 Squadron RAF based in Singapore in 1949/50/51 when they converted from Spitfires to Vampires. Originally I think they were based at
Sembawang before moving to Tengah." |

My thanks to Paul Munro for these photos. Paul said, I do not have memories of Singapore myself, I was only 3 when we went there and 6 when we returned but my family were there between 1963 and 67. My parents Oscar "Ricki" and Pat Munro were based at RAF Tengah and I believe he was an Armourer. Does anybody
recognise my Dad or themselves, or what the photos show. |

My thanks to Michael S Arnold for these photos. Michael says "I served at Tengah on 20 squadron ,I was on the advanced party to form the squadron, I left Singapore on new years eve 63/64. I had lived with my parents in Penang and Malaya and Singapore in
the 50's (53-57)." The first photo is from the trouble in Brunei in 63 and we are on active service Labuan airfield. The other photos are our return to the UK party in November 63.
I wonder who the young lady is I am with as I can not remember her name but she was very charming, I think her father was in the army as a WO1. I would also like to try and contact Girl I knew in the late 50's at Tengah her name was Pat
Midgley. We were school children there. |
 This photo is from the trouble in Brunei in 63 and we are on active service Labuan airfield. |
 These were taken at our 'going home party' in November 1963 - the night of Kennedy's shooting. I am on the left with the pretty
girl, mind all the girls are pretty. |
