Memory Lane
Out there amongst the many who served at Seletar there are piles and piles of great and funny and interesting stories and photos and new clips from when you were there.
Since we started the Memories section, a number of members and non-members alike have been in touch to express their thanks. We are extremely grateful to Mike Rees for taking the time and trouble he in sending his enjoyable and great memory jogging stuff. As the then editor of this website I was whisked back in time and many old crumbling mental images came back into focus. I didn't arrive there for nearly six years after Mike's posting home - I was surprised to see the place hadn't really changed at all in that time. We remember, with gratitude, the late Derek Lehrle for his contributions of many great pictures of aircraft from when Derek was there.
The excellent contribution from John Giddens whose father, the late Wing Commander Peter Giddens, was based at Seletar from December 1951 to June 1954, is a fascinating collection of memorabilia. John shares with the Association a very personal record his father kept of his time at Seletar all those years ago.
Harry Dobkin recently sent some great images in from his collection.
Many thanks to all these contributors,
Eddie (Matt) Dillon
