Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 That vintage SQ 731 simply betrays your age. Ooops! I have some rather vivid memories actually. On one SQ 727 ride - i remember remarking to my dad as we boarded through the rear airstairs - "wow, this thing has a hole in the backside" (I remember cause my dad asked me not to be so crude). We got a sandwich on the flight to singapore, and i sat in what must have been row 4 or 5 in the window (mum in the middle and dad in the aisle) - and seeing this huge colourful waterslide on approach to QPG which i begged my parents to take me to. On my very first flight (it was an MH 737 also from SZB to QPG) - i remember the "FIDS" was a set of flashing lights next to the flight name to indicate boarding. I remember holding my mum's hand and squeezing it so hard cause i wanted the lights to flash up for our flight so we could go and fly. I think i pretty much dragged her down the ramp to the tarmac (anyone remember that spiral ramp?). Flying was a bit different then. You wore something nice. I still try to, to this day.

flee 5 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 Flying was a bit different then. You wore something nice. I still try to, to this day. You have the longest list in MWings - Congratulations! Yes, I remember one of my uncles will dress up in his best suit when he is flying. I remember the pilot's announcement when flying on MSA's B731 from SZB to QPG (then, it was KUL-SIN) - cruise altitude was 29,000 ft. I also remember taking many YN flights that cost $29. You land in the middle of the night or take off at 5.30 am. A pain in the neck in those days but nowadays, people take flights at all hours of the day....

Could have also been B727-212 Advs. Can anyone confirm if the B727-200 Advs or B737-112 flew between BKI-SIN between late 1970s to 1982? Mr. BC Tam??

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 ..... Can anyone confirm if the B727-200 Advs or B737-112 flew between BKI-SIN between late 1970s to 1982? Mr. BC Tam??I cannot be 100% sure, but I sort of remember that SQ did not start flying into BKI until quite a while after the MSA split. Maybe it's to do with the 'inheritance' issue where SQ got the international rights whilst MH kept the domestic routes; BKI-SIN was deemed a domestic flight in MH's books for a long long time, a very lucrative monopoly So, while it's pretty safe to assume the B737-112 did fly BKI-SIN in MSA colours, MH's B737-200s probably did the job from 1972 As for the B727s, I suspect they had been retired by SQ before they commenced BKI services - I could be wrong though Hope that helped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 IIRC, SQ replaced the B737s with B727s. These were in turn replaced by B757s and A310s. I never managed to fly on SQ's B737s but did so on the other aircraft types. My next target is to get the A350 to SFO - the return fares are pretty attractive.... I don't think I ever travelled on MSA My earliest (very vague) recollection was on CX's CV880 flying BKI-MNL-HKG(admittedly, I would not have had the faintest knowledge back then as to what make or model of flying object that was transporting me then to my dotting grandparents at Fragrant Harbour) Yeah, MSA was a long, long time ago. I remember sending my mother off at SZB and she flew on DC-3s and Comet 4C's.... Can't remember if she flew on F-27s, though. I vividly remember the DC-3's noises as it taxied and took off - two distinct types of noises as the engines rev up to speed from taxi speed. Yup, those CX Convairs were a common sight at SZB...

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 Yeah, MSA was a long, long time ago.Yes it was, and I do have some vague recollection of those yellow and black colours at BKI Thing is we (my family) did not have any reason to travel west to KUL or SIN back in those days and we never did as far as I can recall. HKG was more frequently visited and hence CX (in the classical green and white livery) has been etched dominantly in my childhood memories - MSA did not fly BKI-HKG as far as I know. Only later on did the red liveried MAS planes came about, and we sort of alternated between CX and MH when we did our trips "back home" to Fragrant Harbour (much at whim and fancy of Dad's favorite local travel agent back then, online booking not even being as any distant fantasy in those days) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
