Hi there, I was at RAF Changi 1961 to 1964 as my dad was a medic based on the camp. I was lucky enough to be allowed to fly in the meteors, had my own 'bone dome' and suit. I remember the T7, F8 but I thought there was also some NF14's based there. I also did 'circuits an bumps' in the Hastings, went up in the Shakletons on anti-pirate patrol. oh how loved being out there, kind regards Chatters

Greetings Peter Chatfield, I attended Changi secondary modern between 1961 - 1964. Dad was a senior technician at FEAFOC, how cud u forget that acronym. I was in the ATC, but don't recall getting any flights, vaguely remember putting my face in at the flight mess? To ask for a flight opportunity on a shackleton (my favourite) but I think it was going on a long op att. Thoroughly enjoyed watching all the different aircraft land and taking off at Changi airbase. The 'beverleys' were the ones to watch high wing, four piston engines, they took forever to get airbourne and the noise! Must have been the full RAF band inside? Anyway lots of memories, I had a crush on a grammar school girl named Morag Bunting, she lived in the block next to ours on Upavon road. Cya
