Tony Richardson: Did you by any chance know my mother Tessa Lawless, ex RAF PM who was posted at RAF Changi, 1952-55?

She brought life to the place, organising parties and social gatherings! Those days were amongst her happiest and she has very vivid memories and stories of her time there. Unfortunately, these include a few tragedies, which I guess were par for the course in the circumstances.

Mum accompanied the first British Army Cas Evacs from Korea. She collected them from Japan and was photographed as the unnamed nurse stepping out of the aircraft at Changi.

Just wondered whether her name rang any bells?!

Wasn't it called Southgate? Any pictures of the high level walkways or the concrete blocks with round windows?

Thanks for the pictures and dating them. Its part of history (although not a happy one for some residents!)

Regards,

I LIVED IN THIS STREET AND WENT ST.GEOGES PRIMARY SCHOOL I REMEMBER MY MUM PULLING ME TO SCHOOL ON A SLEDGE FROM YHIS HOUSE AND I LEARNED TO RIDE A BIKE HERE WOW, THIS IS GREAT TO SEE !!!

I used to go to school here from about 1957-1959 but I can't quite work out where our house was from here. We were in a tiny RAF married quarters patch with a little circle of houses. I walked from there. It would be great to find it.

Bro - how do i get there?

The old Air Movements Squadron Hangar.

This estate was called 'Southgate'. It was also affectionately(?) known by locals as LegoLand, as it looked like it had been built from blocks of Lego.

Thank you, will amend accordingly

Hedgehog!

This as I remember is the PAC (Protected Avionics Centre)
