Notes from Les Hamp:

This photograph was taken at RAF Little Sai Wan . It shows a group of airmen waiting for the transport to take them to work on Victoria Peak at RAF Batty's Belvedere .The two in uniform are Pete Hall from the NE (wearing best blue) and Les Hamp from Blackpool(in battle dress). Those in civvies would be off duty and be getting dropped off in town.They include Ken May from Pinner in shorts,The two on the end were linguists ,the one in the sports jacket we called Noddy and I think the other was called Lyn or Glyn ? both of whom went on to work in the Diplomatic Service.
