Has anyone of you wise folks out there ever heard of a RAF Club with hotel like accomodations in or around Hong Kong. Has such a club ever existed? I never heard of such a club during my tenure in Hong Kong and it was never mentioned by any of my fellow crew. Thank you in advance for any responses rendered to this question.

If there ever was one, I should think it's now the People's Liberation Army Air Force Club and your F1250 would no longer be welcome!

In the 1950s there was an Air Force Club in down-town Victoria, but it was not residential; it was, though a very good boozer. There was also the United Services Recreation Club in Kowloon, and when i last visited in 1984 it was still going strong. About two years ago this Club wrote to many Clubs in the Uk asking for memories of the old place, so it was still going strong then. Can anyone say what has happened to it now?
Since the PLA has talen over our old airfield at Sek Kong, perhaps they have also taken over the USRC (of happy memory!)

They are no longer F1250 but a tri service MOD F90.
Time to get a real job me thinks!

The USRC is still here: http://www.usrc.org.hk/index.php

It has accommodation, and reciprocal relationships with many other similar places (though not the RAF Club for some reason).

Is the china fleet club still going ?

Thank you to everyone who responded to my query. I certainly had my query answered. I think the China Fleet Club, which relocated to the 9/F of the Admiralty Center in the mid 1980's, was closed either prior to the handover in 1997 or shortly thereafter.
