I was at Changi from '69 to when it closed in '71, working in Electrical Engineering Squadron (aka "The Gin Palace") It was indeed the best station in the Royal Air Force and lacked nothing in the way of facilities and things to do. I never had so much fun before or since. When I flew out on the VC10 I looked down on Singapore and said to myself "I'll be back" and I have been, many times. I worked in Brunei for 27 years and often visited Singapore. The Singapore Sailing Club still has same atmosphere as the RAF Changi Yacht Club and although the buildings are new it still has that same view.
