What's new and updated on the Gwulo website:
General
- Please do you have any photos of Scouts, Cubs, or Brownies, taken in Hong Kong in the 1910s-1930s? I am trying to put an accurate date on a photo I've just bought for a future video, and one clue is the children's uniforms. The style of those uniforms changed several times in the early years, so by comparing them with other photos where we know the date, I'm hoping to work out when this new photo was taken. (Here are the photos we already have on Gwulo of Cub Scouts / Scouts / Brownies.)
- Should Hong Kong have an aviation museum?
- The Sai On / Tak Shing / Tung Shan ferry
- Several updates for my recent video: 1945 flight over wartime Hong Kong
- Correction: No evidence that Union Church was bombed
