Personal tour itinerary: KL-Labuan-K.Kinabalu-Sandakan-K.Kinabalu-KL by MAS flight (Seven years after my retirement).
Labuan undergone a drastic changed both physically and economically. Lands reclaimed, new airport, new port facilities, modern tourism centers, the new An'nur mosque, several commercial buildings built and it was totally different compared from my first visit to Labuan in 1970.

Assalamualaikum,
No 5 Squadron is no longer in the buildings shown in the picture. I don't know the new location.
Waalaikumusalam Tuan,
Thank you for the information.Definitely the No 5 Sqn Office Bldg. had moved by now probably into the nearby old hangar bldg.or elsewhere. Well it was 30 years ago when I had visited the old office bldg.in 1981 on detachment from RMAF Kuching.
Greetings tuan-tuan,
No 5 Sqn has a new building housing the hanger and offices. It remains on the same location.
Thank you Gasha and welcome to my humble blog.
good evening encik mail,
I find your blog very interesting especially on your career. I was just wondering if you have ever flew with my late father...the late kapt tan eng huat.
Very good evening to you Gasha, and thank you for following my blog. I am very sorry to hear that your father had passed away, and flying with him was not listed in my log book. Was he from Nuri or AlouetteIII? Emailing me his service photo would be appreciated.
Hi there encik mail.My late father was a nuri pilot. He served in labuan from 1984-1988and after that in Butterworth till 1991 where he crashed in Banding.. At this moment I dont have any of his photo with me..but I will definitely email it to you when im back in my hometown.
Hi Gasha,thanks for the reply as 1984-1988 I use to be deployed on detachment from RMAF Kuching to RMAF Labuan.Your dad's name sound familiar to me as I was in the AlouetteIII wing...with a slight different area to be noticed.
Wah banyaknya gambar lama2 labuan, saya lahir dan membesar di labuan dan kebanyakan tempat yang di ambil dalam gambar ni saya biasa tengok tapi pada masa gambar ni di ambil saya masih belum lahir...........anyway thanks sebab upload
