Hello John
My parents were John and Cindy Tugwood and they were posted at Singapore twice. Dad unfortunatly passed away in 2000 and Mum passed away in 2004.
I would love to here from anybody who has any stories or photographs of Dad and mum (John & Cindy Tugwood) as I am creating a photobook in memory of them to pass on to the grandchildren.
Dad loved his photography and was always involved in helping others and helping out at the church wherever we lived.
Mum was always a happy person always had time for people and she loved nothing more than making people laugh.

Comment on St Andrew’s Church at the Airbase by Shona Trench

Hello,
Probably of no interest to anyone but myself, but I was born in Singapore (Changi Hospital) in 1961, when my father (Flt Sgt Bryan) was stationed at RAF Seletar, and was baptised at St. Andrews Church. My father recently gave me my birth certificate, on the back is a hand written note which says “Baptised according to the Church of Scotland order of service in the Church of St. Andrew, RAF Seletar, Singapore on Sunday 31st December 1961 by me”
The Rev……………….
Unfortunately I can’t read the name, it’s Rev C.F. Dawson? or Davison?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Shona Trench (nee Bryan)

Hello John,
Mentioned your post to my Dad who did remember that Cindy was involved with the theatre group. I think that my Dad did/does keep in touch with them, I will ask in my next email home. My father was in CPRU, so not the same Sgt Bryan that you knew. He worked with a local Singaporean, Victor Sim, a camp photographer, who I’ve managed to trace in Singapore. My father met up with him a couple of times when he was visiting us in November. They had a good couple of afternoons talking about ‘the old days’, as you can imagine.
