ON THE HONG KONG BEAT

    From Colonial America at the time of the Revolution to Colonial Hong Kong in the 1960’s and ‘70s… with a little reminder of what originally brought me to this ‘Pearl of the Orient’ in June 1977.

  
As many of you know I came to his amazing city to join The Royal Hong Kong Police as a trainee Inspector on a three year contract.  Being a Colonial Police Force, the R.H.K.P. was very British in its uniforms, equipment and vehicles.
Hong Kong has a very distinctive landscape, it’s not all towering skyscrapers but also steep mountains, hillsides and lots of rural countryside, towns and villages.
Over the years, the Police have used a wide range of transport to get around all of these diverse areas.  Among the most capable and useful vehicles for both urban and rural patrolling was the sturdy British-made Land Rover.
When I joined the force in 1977, the most visible and numerous were the long-wheelbase Series 3 Land Rovers.  The R.H.K.P. had hundreds of them and you saw them everywhere:  on city streets, in little villages in the New Territories, and all over the huge sprawling Kowloon district, and even on some of Hong Kong’s outlying island communities.
These distinctive blue and white Land Rovers would normally carry a driver plus an inspector or a sergeant sitting next to him, plus two or more constables in the back.
That was just one of the many reasons why Hong Kong was, and still is, such a safe city all day and all night for all its people and its millions of foreigner visitors.  The police presence on the street is both visible, and yet not intrusive.  Those old dark blue and white Land Rovers were an impressive part of that.
And now, here is the latest addition to K&C’s ‘Hong Kong All Our Yesterdays’ series and our fond memory of a great looking vehicle…

Due to be released in SEPTEMBER 2025.
