Sek Kong ..C Sguadron 16th/5th Lancers..1974 to 1976

Christmas Greetings to you all,

I am hoping that someone out there can help me put an accurate final stage to a total rebuild of a Scorpion (CVRT) light British Army Tank that for the first three years of its operational life......Jan74 to April76 served with C Sqn 16/5 Lancers.

The rebuild of this Tank has been an on going project that has taken 8 years to virtually complete.

General

  • I saw the printed proofs for the new Gwulo book late last week. I really thought we'd caught all the mistakes and it would just be a case of signing them off. Instead, two more small mistakes surfaced that needed fixing. That held us up for a few days, but the final changes have all been made and approved, and the book is now out of my hands and away with the printer.
    They plan to deliver the finished books on December 16th, so next Wednesday, December 4th, I'll open up pre-orders with the usual special pricing. That will run until December 14th, then we'll have a day to print labels and prepare the envelopes so the books can be mailed out ASAP after they arrive on the 16th.

  • The comments on the Mo Tat Village thread have several interesting replies about British policy in the New Territories.

Secret Files of UK Govt 1842-1997

I understand that there is lots of information that the British Govt has compiled about HK over the years and much of this is now available to the public. Just wondered if this has been covered at all by Gwulo ? I am aware of a recent book called "Secret 1842-1997 " by Wong Kan-Tai but i have no idea how to obtain a copy. Are you aware of other similar publications ? Thanks Jonathan Foxall
