I was not in Kluang in 1965 when you arrived Bill, but a year later. I also spent a short time with 75 Ac Wksps before going to Borneo, Brunei, with the 75MSRD down there. I spent the rest of my time in Malaysia with 2RGJ Air Platoon, finishing up for 18 months on Penang Island, at Minden Barracks. You caught my interest by your mention of Magic Martin. After Malaysia I was posted to Hong Kong with 18 Lt Rgt RA AOP, where I met up with Magic again. The Hellerman Fluid bottle of K9P was used quite a lot there, not on Magic of course. Kluang cured him of that! Whilst in Hong Kong, I acted as Best Man at Magics' wedding to a delightful local Hong Kong girl. I haven't heard from him or about him from that time to this. Thanks for the memories anyway Bill
