Now, I'm not saying this means it gives us any more hope of Power of the Daleks being found, but a gentleman by the name of Paz has 'reviewed' POTD Animated DVD on Amazon and shared with us the following testimony -
Other Amazon customers query the fellow about this, and he brings Singapore into his answers:
Another Amazon customer also testified that his friend Pang also saw Power at school in Singapore in the 1970's - not on television; rather a 16mm private showing.
This second mention of a private showing is beyond the 1972 television broadcast, and might confirm that the films were indeed not returned to Ealing for junking in the mid-1970s?
Maybe they went onto to Ghana in the 1980s, after all?!
Is there way of knowing if films were loaned out to schools in Singapore from the broadcast company? This is a similar account to that of the school in New Zealand which gave some pupils a private showing of The Macra Terror...

That's really exciting news. I'm not sure how much it could help us, but the way I see it, if an episode survived past 1978 then its chance of surviving today goes up drastically. Also, speaking of the Macra Terror story, if that is true, then I find it likely that Macra Terror wasn't the only serial that that teacher had bought if he was as big of a fan as the story claims. If he had access to the NZBC Who collection who knows what he could have carted off. Apparently his collection was sold off following his death. It's entirely possible that the copy of the Lion found in 1999 could have come from it.
Of course there is no proof of any of that and there's every likelihood that none of that is true. But there is also no reason for it not to be true.

This is great news!!! Looks like were getting answers, BIG answers. I didn't mean to say (and stated so in the opening of my thread) that this was a pointer, or an answer, to the current existence of Power, just that it may have survived a bit longer than we always assumed. Been a lot of nonsense this weekend about a November 'massive announcement' (during the release of animated POTD - yeah right!) Also, some prankster using our much-respected Douglas Wulf's good name (as before link missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/9714/hoaxer) to say that episodes have been found in Ireland that were 'illegally-telecined' and that DMP 11& 12 are still 'stuck together' (for shame). I wish this guy (or two) would pack it in for good, as their 'lists' and 'dates' raises hopes (for the millionth time since 2013). It is also fraud to use another's name. Have tried to challenge him, but no answer, sadly. Of course we'll get more missing Who, but not in any one's predicted time - and a returned Web 3 and only that would be enough of an announcement for me. But now, back to the subject of that private '78 showing of Power...

I was wondering myself if this is the set of prints that apparently perished in a fire in Ghana in 1986? Has never been proved that Power was in that TV station at the time of the fire. But this testimony seems to open up that possibility?

It could erase their tracks...

In all seriousness, while I know that there is a very good chance the film is not at the school anymore, a school would be a place unlikely to be searched so if it was actually there and the school never got rid of its old films, it could still be there.

I'm now inclined to think that Ghana hoax was done to hide the fact POD was found, and if so, it was likely pocketed.

I can't say that I agree with that, but it is definitely a much more likely scenario than most of the stuff people come with with these days (myself included).

Your theory actually has a reason and motive behind what could happened. Most just talk about how just by coincidence, x epsiode could have ended up in y location if a,b, and c conditions were met.
