So this may interest some of the folks on this group. I am playing a rugby match next week for the 28th Squadron Old Boys vs Police old boys. 28th squadron is an RAF squadron that was based in HK before the handover. I am a member of the Flying Kukris RFC, which has its roots in the Shek Kong barracks and airfield. I am also a member of the HK Aviation Club and was a regular flying member until all flight ops ceased due to Covid. I am the only member of the team that is both a Kukris and HK Aviation club member. I was never in the RAF, but I find it interesting that the old boys team of the Flying Kukris keeps the 28th squadron name going. I have not played a full contact rugby match in over 30 years (have coached a lot and played touch) so i may not survive! If anyone wants to come by (or indeed play for us!) the match is Thursday 3 June at 19h00 at the Police Sports and Recreation Club on Boundary Street.
