Air Force in Hong Kong
joejet, rather than ask "When did Hong Kong acquire an air force"? you maybe should have asked "When did the Royal Hong Hong Auxiliary Air Force disband"? It was in place from 1949 until 1993 and they did indeed have fighter aircraft, albeit during the 1950's when they had up to 8 Spitfires on strength. The RHKAAF was based at both Kai Tak and Sek Kong Airfield. As for CX being an "Air Force Club", far from it. That said, the RAF and the RAAF have been productive recruiting grounds for the company for many years and will probably continue to be for many more. Very understandable when one considers that most recruited from the military stand to markedly increase their salary and provident fund entitlements which should make them happy.
