RASC Launch HUMBER

Submitted by pauline on Mon, 2011-05-02 22:07

Does anyone know anything about the RASC launch HUMBER when it was in Hong Kong?  I have learnt online that she was transferred on the 28th September 1949 to 79Coy RASC  WT to be stationed at Sham Shui Po,  Hong Kong and that in the early 1950s she was redesignated as a FMB in keeping with"Navy Speak" at the base HMS Tamar.  She was permanently assigned to the General Officer Commanding (GOC) Hong Kong,  Major General G. C. Cruddas and that she was used as a VIP launch on which to entertain distinguished visitors.

New member looking of course for old friends!

Submitted by daiwai on Sat, 2011-04-23 07:28

Hi all, new member. Arrived in HK September 1977 and what a culture shock but well worth it - had a ball - worked for the HK Mental Health Services for three years and tried to get a new contract but no luck so had to leave in '81.

work wasn't too interesting but the social life was. Had a goodly group of friends mixed marriages, ozzie and chinese, english and chinese, american and chinese etc etc and then the usual group of ex-pats who were either single or non-mixed marriages - the two groups occasionally collided but not much a case of sliding doors!

This is the latest Jurors List we're making searchable - here's how to join in, it'll only take around 20-30 minutes of your time.

The job is to take the previous year's list, then work through it page-by-page and edit in any changes so it matches this year's list.

Step 1. Check the comments below to see which was the last page someone has started typing. You'll work on the next page. eg if the last comment is "started page 7", you'll be working on page 8.
