Re: Anybody remember Kowloon Hong Kong ? Pics here....
Henry Morgan was a great guy, the world is a sadder place without him. Killed during a mine clearance incident after the Gulf war I believe. RIP mate, I won't forget you .
The only one I recall is Paddy Savage or (Wing Nut) as we used to call him because he was a Tom in my section, Anybody aware of his whereabouts these days ?

Of course the standards must have dropped after 2 para left in 1968.
Mind you, we managed to halt a potential 2.5 Billion Red Chinese crossing the boarder.

As it happened I made some good friends from the yanks.

There's a rickshaw driver I still owe £40 to.chased me for a good two hundred yards!
Surely you mean HK$40 Keith? I got a taxi from Kowloon to Sheung Shui at 03:00hrs for about £2, (HK$25). It was all I had left, I think the old boy felt sorry for me.
