The above photo shows the place where I had stayed for 6 to 7 months in Brunei Sultanate, back in 1988. I was staying in the South-Eastern barrack (shown in blue roof). It was a 2 storey barrack and I stayed in the 2nd storey. The road is off Jalan Muara, possibly about 15 to 30 minutes by car from Brunei International Airport.
You could see helicopters parked on concrete ground which is a helipad. If I could recall correctly, the cookhouse was the centre block in the photo with green roof.
I could remember as a teenager, I drove for the first time in a white manual transmission toyota car around the road surrounding the green field (without license yet). I also remember where a wild snake was skinned, hanged from the second storey and later cooked into snake soup for consumption.
The surrounding of the camp was all forest, just as it was back in 1988.
