Chunky Lord

Way back in the fifties Chunky was a Vampire FG9 pilot at Sek Kong, an airfield in the middle of the New Territories in Hong Kong. After a bender in Kowloon he hailed a rickshaw and demanded to be transported to Sek Kong.
The rickshaw puller had never been out of Kowloon in his life so Chunky directed him on which way to go. After they had gone through the Lion Rock tunnel the rickshaw driver was knackered so Chunkey threw him into the rickshaw and motored it himself to Sek Kong, just in time for met briefing. The rickshaw driver was totally lost so they kept him on the squadron making tea and sweeping until a truck was going to Kai Tak. Thay loaded him and his rickshaw on the back and off he went back home. He was a fantastic character and having known him for so long there must be loads of stories about this reprobate. He is dead now, for some years, in tragic circumstances, but all who have known him must have outrageous recollections of his life.
