THE FAR EAST
I was lucky enough to spend some time in
Thailand, China
and Hong Kong, and to get some unique material.
The one thing I was not able to do was any aerial photography
over Hong Kong. I managed to arrange a flight, but having spent some £30
getting to the British Army operated air strip, was told the there were
no planes available as several were
unserviceable!
China is of course a vast country, and I only visited the area around
Guangzhou (Canton) but was able to get some interesting photos
of life and scenes of the country which is changing rapidly.
