This signals intercept establishment , along with Tai Mo Shan (originally built by the Japanese as a radar station I believe),  later became part of the Composite Signals Organisation (CSO), the Hong Kong outpost of the Government  Communications Headquarters at Cheltenham. In the 1980s CSO moved to Chung Hom Kok and, prior to the development of the site, Little Sai Wan became the Temporary Seaman's Training Centre. I attended a firefighting course there in 1984, and the entrance looked about the same as in the photo, and there were still RAF markings to be seen on some equipment and buildings.    

My dad was part of the security police for the CSO at Little Sai Wan during the 1960s. His office was just beyond the gate.  I remember being astounded by the size of the Alsatian guard dog, I think his name was Lucky.

My father worked at Little Sai Wan in the 60's and 70's and I remember being there as a child most weekends playing sport. 

I served at Little Sai Wan 1953-1955 on Raf Police sction no change since then

My dad worked there in the early 70s too. I was looking for photos to make up a Christmas present of the places my dad has worked. I put 'Little Sai Wan H.k.' into Google and found loads of images.

Dad will be 86 next week and is still as sharp as ever, although quite deaf from his job. Possible my dad worked with yours.

Best wishes to you.

Hi Linda, If you haven't seen it already, please check this page which has lots more photos of Little Sai Wan at different times.
