I am thrilled to know that you lived in Hampstead Gardens in 1956. Please can you give me more details? As a current resident of the airbase and an avid collector of its history, it would be great to have your personal recollections. I am sad to tell you that while Hampstead Gardens still exists, nobody lives there now and the golf course is making way for more buildings, as the whole base is going to be refitted to become an aerospace park. We will be here until the end of the year, when most residents will have to leave. I did not know until you wrote that people actually lived in Hampstead Gardens. There was a school, I know. And I thought possibly an RAF building. Have you had a look at the RAF Seletar Association website? They are a very friendly bunch of people who meet regularly, have an excellent newsletter and smaller meetings in many parts of the UK. You can write to Dave Taylor to get more information, or just apply on the website. I'm British too, but have lived in Singapore for the past 23 years. I invite the veterans every year to my garden for a barbecue. Some of them have also stayed with me - I'm an informal bed and breakfast! I'm not sure if you're contemplating taking a look at Seletar before it changes drastically, but do let me know. I'll put you in touch with people and also hope to be able to show you around!

The wildlife is already very disturbed by the development. Can Seletar survive what’s happening to it? The wildlife is already very disturbed by the development.
