Changi-ite Newsletter 2 April 2017 Membership Secretary’s Report From 42 potential new members, 21 have joined. However, at the 2016 year-end known membership stood at 954. And as I write this in February, having received a majority of Subs Renewals for 2017, I find the membership is down to 946. Regrettably it seems inevitable that this will slightly reduce even further by the time you receive this magazine in early April. Again thanks for all the greetings cards and compliments sent in with the Christmas post, they really are appreciated and I do pass them on to the committee in due course. Malcolm Flack (M119) FEAF in Armistice Day parade RAF Changi Association represented at the Cenotaph in London and at RAF Brize Norton ON SUNDAY the 13th November I travelled up to Whitehall, in London, and met the ‘Units of the Far East Air Force’ group, to take part in the march past at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. is group comprised of members of the Butterworth and Penang Association, the Seletar Association and about six of us Changi-ites; in total, I believe, there were just over twenty of us. e weather was kind to us again, being cold but dry. is year I was delegated the privilege of leading our group, which meant that I was responsible for giving all of the marching commands. All went well as we started but when we arrived at the Cenotaph I instructed “Eyes left” and gave a salute, but the arthritis in my right shoulder RAF Changi representatives at the Armistice Day Cenotaph march past. did not permit my arm to travel freely the long way up and any ex-drill instructors watching must have winced, as I did. Apart from that everything went well and I believe we all kept in step back to Horseguards Parade. It was another great experience, apart from the usual long periods of just standing around and waiting, but we all seemed to enjoy the occasion and, God willing, most of us will be there again this coming November. The Far East Air Force contingent which included RAF Butterworth and John Dicks Penang Association, RAF Seletar Association and RAFChangi Association. THE RAF Changi Association was once again represented on Remembrance Sunday at RAF Brize Norton by Nev Cooper (M973). Once again the parade was blessed with fine weather as it passed through the town to Town Hall and Memorial. All wreath layers were formally announced in turn and the Royal Air Force Changi Association was number five. Following the ceremony, Nev took refreshments in the Town Hall with Brize Norton’s two COs, Group Captain Tim Jones and Group Captain Dave Tozer, plus the Station Warrant Officer, Tony Dunn and his successor. RAF Brize Norton is the largest station in the Royal Air Force. It is home to the RAF’s Strategic and Tactical Air Transport and Air-to-Air Refuelling forces, as well as host to many lodger and reserve units. With its mixed fleet of aircraft, RAF Brize Norton provides rapid global mobility in support of UK overseas operations and exercises.

The slant toward those major navies is warranted by their influence on the regional na- val balance of power. However, it scarcely does justice to the small navies of Southeast Asia, a region of huge maritime geostrategic importance with po- tential security ramifications for wider Asian and global maritime security. Southeast Asia is also the scene of an interesting and serious buildup of sophis- ticated naval capabilities. This article therefore attempts to redress, at least partially, the dearth of inter- est in the small navies in Southeast Asia, using the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as a case study.
