Singapore/Seletar
I read Ian Severn’s reports from here recently and although tempted by cycling around, our group opted for the hot and sweaty option of walking it all. We took a Grab taxi early from our hotel and got dropped off at coordinates 1.424082, 103.867158, close to Fokker Services Group on the Northern part of the airfield. Our plan was to take a slow walk anti-clockwise around the airfield until we got to Hangar66 Cafe at coordinates 1.412870, 103.869717, on the South side. Took around 3 hours, but we felt we got as much as was possible.
I was wary of no-photography at Singapore airfield reports before I had left the UK – this is where they originated from I guess – https://www.changiairport.com/en/corporate/resources/forms-and-manuals/filming-and-photography.html
I contacted the email addresses contained within that web page and asked for a permit, stating that I would be visiting and wanting to take photographs at Changi, Seletar and Paya Lebar. Two weeks later, I received this reply – “Please be informed that as a passenger, you may take photos within the airport premises, provided that the security screening machines and related equipment are not photographed.” – not a lot of help!
Because of this uncertainty, none of us took any photographs and we were only asked to go away at one point during out walkaround, which was at the Jet Aviation Singapore FBO located at coordinates 1.419564, 103.864700. The lady was polite but made it clear that we should leave as now on private property, despite not seeing a sign saying as much. We of course did as we were asked.

Paya Lebar
We again used the Grab app to get us from Seletar to Paya Lebar. This museum was scheduled to be closed soon after our visit for a major refurbishment. Check that is finished and the museum is back open again, if you plan to visit.

Singapore/Changi
Taxi back to the Village Hotel Changhi to have a quick shower, change out of sweaty clothes, grab our luggage, check-out and take the hotel to airport shuttle that we had reserved spaces on – recommended you do that as it was full by the time we left. Once airside at Changi, you can walk all of the terminal gates – be warned though, that this place is vast.
The following log is in military first, then country prefix, then airline, type and reg order. I only managed to grab a few more photographs of the hotel, to give you an idea of what the top floor offers you in terms of views.
