This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

1970 was my last year in school. The main book we studied in English was Lord of the Flies. I really did not like it. Hated it tbh. Undecided about watching it on TV tonight.

This popped up on FB this morning. It is Sek Kong Airfield & Camp in the New Territories, Hong Kong. Army Air Corps, RAF, Army Dog Unit & a Gurkha Battalion were based there. I was there for the 2nd half of 1980. It was a scenic sort of place. Sometimes got a heli lift down to Hong Kong for a beer!
