Thanks for that good Navy picture. The 3 Navy men and Two other civilians I guess. Then at the end a Navy Admiral, I think .🏯🌏🌍🌎My youngest son Richard was I. the Persian Gulf War in the Navy in Aug 2001 he unlisted in Arizona. Stationed in San Diego on the USA Tarawa. thanks
The airfield is probably the Cam Ranh Air Base at Cam Ranh Bay, southeastern coast of Vietnam, between Phan Rang and Nha Trang. The base and its facilities were developed from 1965 by US air force. It is until May 1972, the facilities were turned over to the South Vietnam government.
Hi Michael, looking at the buildings, it's 1970 not 1960. (Murray Building opened 1969, Century Tower under construction - opened 1971?). I think the ship is USS Okinawa, which was in Hong Kong, Vietnam and the Philipines in 1970, the Helicopter 150941 (Sea Knight) is now on display at Havelock NC visitor center. I think the building with the big cross on the hill is the Mount Samat National Shrine in the Philippines, if so, the airfield is there too, because it isn't Hong Kong. Okinawa was in the Philipines helping after a Typhoon. In the ceremony at the end, the man in the army uniform (with 3 pips on his shoulders), is wearing a cap badge for the South Vietnamese Army.
I think at the end is the Philipines. The asian naval officers are filipino. The cross on the hill is Mount Samat , remembers the dead from ww2. I'm guessing the airfield after the cross is cubi point (near subic bay naval base). If its the okinawa then they are receiving the presidential citation for disaster relief, making it 1970.
The dishonorable Opium War from Queen Victoria Royal Navy with the Jew David Sasoon's 1210 tons opium stole Hong Kong away to s.s, New Jersey docking in Victoria harbor spanning 111 years. Now the Hong Kong riots took over this small island. I suggested China being so strong now in military and economy. China should take back Hong Kong completely !

My grandpa told old Navy stories of this place. He passed away age 84 on Friday. Thank you for this
Hong Kong is a must place to live or visit.
Hong Kong was beautiful.
This film bring back good memories, thanks again, wish you all the best and salute to you, sir.
So I take it that carriers or cruiser size ships and up would way anchor out in the bay rather than at HMS Tamar?
Probably the original vlogger. Thanks, this is great.

Also, the girl with the blue mini skirt. Don't think they had those in 1960.
Nice video. Thanks

Thanks. That may be the answer.
Michael, may I thank you for the videos. Many memories of a better world, despite all the bad things going on at the time.
2:33 - Aberdeen
Awesome
Like background music
2:12 Repulse Bay
Around 1967 I guess.
It says 1960 not 1960's
不明白英国为什么要做那样的决定
Because Mainland China pressure them to do so.Originally Britain is looking for the extension of the 99 years lease but China refused.
Are you a Chinese traitor ?
