Nope, we’re not talking about sports equipment and pooches. So what are Javelins and Bloodhounds? Find out as Peter Chan remembers Bukit Gombak on Part 11 of the Bukit Timah Heritage Trail.

Here’s one clue:

Bukit Gombak was less dense than it is today and the radar installation was a very prominent object on the skyline as shown in the picture here. Promptly around noon each day, I could hear the screaming sounds of British Javelin aircrafts flying over our house in the direction of Bukit Batok. I was not sure where it came from; I could only suspect that it must have been from RAF Tengah because it was the nearest British air base close to my place.

So, what’s a Blooghound? Find out in Good Morning Yesterday.
