SPECIAL NOTE, June 2021
I am amazed and immensely gratified that this film has been viewed 40,000 times since 2010 and received such a warm response from so many viewers. Thank you all so much.
The film was very much a solo effort made on a budget of close to zero dollars; in fact the only outlays were for the airfares to Truscott and fee paid to Gary Arnold from WaveTracks for the beautiful music score he created. Ivan Johnston generously lent me his beautiful Canon Hi-8 video camera and lenses - these were the days before our miraculous digital cameras!
A couple of comments correctly noted an error that somehow slipped through re the timing of the fall of Singapore and I have now corrected that. I have gone through the whole film and made a number of small but necessary adjustments, then republished the film under a new title: Return to Anjo: revisiting Australia's secret airbase - 2021 revision.
In 2019 my wife Maureen and I visited Helen Brown in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the weeks following the mosque shootings. It was a memorable visit and lovely to stay with Helen, Bob having died the year before. My Dad, Gordon, died in 1987, just three years after his visit to Anjo with his wife, Rae. In 2021, at the age of 90, Rae is living with Alzheimer's Disease in a nursing home near Melbourne. She still remembers the trip to Anjo with great joy.
