John, there are several members on this site that can equate to filling up Sunderlands (and other aircraft) by Jerry can, especially at China Bay and Gan. I'm pleased to hear how the FB were refuelled at the Mauripur base as this operation has often been ignored.

I'm still wanting more stories of flying/working on Sunderlands especially from RAF Seletar Flying Boat Wing or anywhere in the Far East at Sangley Point, Labuan, Kai Tak, Koggala, China Bay, Mauripur and Gan.

Hello,

As an almost 6 year old my mother, baby sister and I flew from Singapore to Labuan on about 10 April 1948 via Kuching. I still remember arriving there and my father coming out on the launch to meet us. We ahd previously flown from Poole to Singapore by BOAC Hythe. I am still in live with Sunderlands.

Don.
