In the far distance in the right of the picture, vehicles of 35 OFP can be seen. To the right of these is the white tent which was used as the tyre stores. At a later date the unit moved farther to the centre of the airstrip away from the road for security reasons, subsequently enclosed within an illuminated prerimeter.

Our living quarters when we were stationed at Kluang from late 1955 to aerly 1957. Quite comfortable after you got used to the OPEN-PLAN lay-out. As can be seen it had very good air circulation with ample space for the Mosquito's to get in and out.
