A cheerful group of airmen, possibly including an Australian at second right, looking forward to getting home, after several years abroad.  Hong Kong in 1946 would still be only tentatively recovering from the war - notice the Sten(?) machine guns propped against the wall.  You can tell from the relaxed state of dress that the R.A.F. considered the men's work far more important than 'bull'. I think that Mt Cameron is in the background.
