Would any fellow nostalgia shipmates have any knowledge of the history of a passenger ship by the name of Kota Singapura.
I sailed on her in 1972 from Fremantle to Singapore.
At the time she was used as a charter vessel for a "ship-jet" connection between Australia and Great Britain, aimed at the popular backpacker age group.
Unfortunately the venture was poorly run, with the vessel regularly overbooked, and air connections "iffy" to say the least, and the company sunk late that same year.
Hopefully someone has a better memory than I do now.
