RAF Seletar reunions and the Seletar Association
For many people who served or grew up at RAF Seletar, the camp remained part of their lives long after 1971. Reunions have kept that connection going for decades.
The RAF Seletar Association
The RAF Seletar Association was formed in the UK in 1997 to bring together people who had served at Seletar. It now presents itself online as the RAF Seletar & Tengah Association.
Membership is open to RAF and civilian personnel, and their relatives, who served at any station on the island of Singapore. Current and former Singapore Armed Forces personnel at Seletar and Tengah, and members of the Seletar Flying Club, can also join.
Reunions, newsletters and return trips
- An annual reunion and regional gatherings, held in the UK — National Archives of Singapore photographs record the sixth reunion, in Loughborough in 2002.
- A members’ newsletter, the Seletar Searchlight.
- Organised trips back to Singapore since 2000, giving former residents the chance to see the camp again.
Membership has been declining as the generation who served at Seletar grows older, which makes the photographs and memories collected at these gatherings all the more valuable.
