Our Cat Sandy

This is my late Wife Doreen with our cat Sandy outside our married quarters at RAF Seletar, Singapore in Jan 1955. The procedure there is when you are due to return to the UK you pass your cat/dog on to another married family who will then do the same and so on, so the dogs and cats get different owners about every 2 years, but it seemed to work OK. You were not allowed to bring any Pets home. Eric

That was a banana plant he was climbing up, we gave our neighbours banana's and they would give us oranges and pineapples depending what was in their garden. We missed Sandy when we flew home but we knew he had a good home. This was our married quarters. I recently went on Google Earth and those married quarters are still there, probably for the airport staff Eric
