PICT0115.jpeg

Between 1963 & 1966 I lived in Singapore.
My father John was attached to the Admiralty & MPBW and worked in the engineering dept in the Naval base as a Quantity Surveyor.
Our first house was outside the base just off the Upper Thompson Rd at 17 Gardenia Rd. Second house was in the base at 154C Gibraltar Cres, the “Jackson’s” (think that’s what they were known as), and finally at a classic Black & White at 283 Sudan Rd.
I attended Royal Naval School in the base, and 1 term at Bourne school before leaving back to UK on P&O Chitral.

A fleet of Naval coaches (probably 9 or 10) picked up the children from all over Singapore to bring them to the RN School in the Naval Base at Sembawang.

Dad’s Austin A60 (delivered new in 1963, and came back to the UK in 1966). He must have been a tad disappointed because most of the taxis at the time were A60’s too. Black with orange roofs from memory..Apr 17, 2026
