cutting is either from the Straits Times or the Malay Mail485 viewsThe newspaper cutting is either from the Straits Times or the Malay Mail,
(the article appeared in both), The background to the story is that my sister and occasionally me would help out at the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The local papers obviously thought it would make a good story.

SPCA and Dave Papworth478 viewsMy sister Gill, Maggie, who was one of the SPCA supervisors and me. I believe we had just presented Maggie with our collection tin. My sister and I had gone round all the Flats in Far East Mansions carol
singing and had raised quite a bit of cash. (Later Maggie took us to see The Italian Job, which hadn't long been released).

Radio476 viewsThis radio measures about 4.5" x 1.25" x 2.75", it was state of the art stuff at the time, and about as small as radios got. This model was MW only but it did have an earpiece! It was bought for my birthday in 1969, still works too.
