The Classics Every now and then a photograph is contributed to this site which I consider to be especially significant or representative of the times. I am thrilled to be able to share these, my favourites, with you all and thank everyone for their assistance in contributing! I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I do. They are in no particular order. |

September 1958 Teacher: Mrs Donald Teaching grades 5 and 6 in the former ballroom of the Mayor's residence, Georgetown. This is the earliest class photo we have, long before RAAF School was built in 1962. This interim School was established in August 1958, in a building formerly occupied by the Mayor of Georgetown but at the time vacant. The School catered for infants and primary children. The first Principal was Mrs Dawson, an ex-graduate school teacher and wife of the then Civilian Financial Advisor. The staff of female teachers was recruited from wives of servicemen - mostly RAAF, but some Army wives. For more information see School History section. |

1973 The RAAF Hostel
This is a terrific photograph of the Hosty as it was in 1973, still gleaming new in comparison to the state it's in in 2006. In the foreground driving through the gate is the Sunley family car, a tiny blue two door Austin A30. Classic Penang transport!
