There was a Pearl Report last night on its use as a Vietnamese refugee camp prior to being taken over by Christian Action. One of the former refugees paid a last viist before the block was demolished. Has anyone been there recently to confirm if it has already been torn down?

Demolished. 

Yes it is demolished and I think it would be redeveloped into a new housing unit. But the Housing Authority has agreed to incorporate some 'meaningful' component of the old building into the new project (completed in 2025 they say) which includes the RAF badge and the memorial plaque. So it is good at least the badge would survive/ rebuilt but we really don't know what the Housing Authority mean by 'meaningful' component. Anyone interested can find the news reports on Google.
