RAF Ping Shan c1954IDJ adds “I noticed this week [4th Dec 2013] that the Airfield Construction Branch now has a Flikr site but there seems to be only a few Ping Shan images scattered through the site. The RAF guys look a rough bunch and seem to have Japanese POWs working freely with them [ see second image below]”

    So lovely to find a photo of my grandad in one of the above photographs. He never spoke of the war and he didn’t keep any photographs. This one is special. Thank you. ??
