Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
There was probably very few Chinese from Hong Kong who served as pilots in the Royal Air Force during World War 2. The demise of this gentleman was apparently reported in the previous day’s edition of this newspaper which I do not have access to.
It may tell us more?

I just discovered a group of photos stolen from my Flickr page being sold on ebay, by a seller in Florida,USA. I had discretely watermarked some of them, but the marks were cropped out or obscured. I was not aware that someone could produce a fake photographic slide these days, but I guess anything is possible. They were all photos taken in the '60s and '70s of the R&R bars in Wanchai. When a rare photo of this area shows up on ebay, it usually attracts a lot of bidding, and sells for a surprising amount of money.

I'm currently writing a novel which is partly set in the period 1900 to 1913. I'm looking for background information on living accommodation in the Chinese populated areas of Hong Kong . It would be useful to have access to maps and of course I need to get to grips with the feel of the place and its culture.

Are Hong Kong police anecdotes welcome in this forum? I mean the printable ones with the guilty person(s) name suitably erased.
Funny anecdotes, not the unprintable ones - which give some insight to life at various places around Hong Kong.
Persons in some of the anecdotes are now dead.
