Malaya Borneo and Brunei in 1962
written by John Gudge
 Although the Malayan Emergency was over, there were still CTs in the forests of North Malaya. We opperated from RAAF Butterworth, where, along with 52 Sqn, we dropped supplies into the jungle, in order to keep our lads living, fighting and moving. This is also where I met Dave Drury, a harmonica player like me. Then I was sent to Labuan and Brunei when Mr Azahari began his rebellion. We stayed on in order to pursuade Indonesian President Soekano to bring his troups back to Djakarta, and leave the new nation of Malaysia in peace.Labuan is where I met and married Rose, a local Chinese girl who worked in the control Tower at Labuan Airport. This was one of my happier times. There were many. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
