RAF Sek Kong Airshow-Avro Vulcan-17 November 1978

1978

The RAF airshow at Sek Kong in 1978 featured a Vulcan delta-wing bomber which must have been a sight to see manouvering within Sek Kong's valley.

Like most of these shows they were rarely publicised unless you were "in-the know". Only to read about them later in the SCMP the next week.

I don't recognize the bald-headed man introducing dignitaries to Sir Murray. Could that be Sir Ivo Rigby, the Chief Justice (1970-1973)?. On the extreme right is Sir Hugh Norman-Walker.

Junction Peak Rd + Barker Rd, 1975

On Flickr the junction of Barker Rd with Stubbs Rd is given, but it's Peak Rd (and when this house was built it was Cragmin Rd).

And note the traffic pagoda on the left. Must have been an important intersection.
