Cameron Hotel

Cameron Hotel

A 2006 photo of the Cameron Hotel, thanks to Peter Chan.  It was popular with RAF personnel in transit to the UK after their engagement was over.  Cameron Hotel is located at Guan Soon Avenue, off Upper Changi Road.  Jeffery Abdullah adds, that this hotel is located very near to Simei Housing Estate. If you take the MRT, the station that you need to alight will be SIMEI MRT Stn and then its a walking distance cutting through the footpath next to the new condominiums and private houses.

15 Selarang Park Road, Changi

My thanks to Marion Body for these two photos.  Marion lived here with her sister Madeliene (Maddy) in 1968.  They were there for about a year with her father Malcolm, an officer (Lietenant or Captain) in REME and mother Marguerite (Peggy). Marion particularly remembers the stories of how hundreds of POWs were billeted in the house that the four of them then occupied.
