Back to Stanley Fort once again for episode 5, Loyalties, but this time with some views from around the north side of the football field and what I believe is Block 10. I have no idea whether or not this block once had a different name like many of the others (which recall various places and buildings in the UK), but in this show it is where Sgt. Bilinski is billeted and from where he leaves the barracks after being sent back to the UK following his close call with the snakeheads. Perhaps there is someone out there who can comment as to why the entrance was painted blue.

Spearhead in Hong Kong - Stafford Gordon (1981) - Beas River, Sheung Shui
Four years before Jackie Chan and Danny Aiello visited the Beas River Country Club to confront Roy Chiao's bad guy, Martin Jacobs (playing Lieutenant Pickering) heads there for some fatherly advice from a retired Brigadier. Once again the famous - former Jardines Stables - gate is the instantly recognisable landmark that tells us we are way out in the Kwu Tung area of the New Territories, not too far from Sheung Shui.

Spearhead in Hong Kong - Stafford Gordon (1981) - Man Kam To, Sheung Shui
The drama moves back to Man Kam To for some of episode 5: Loyalties. This time we get a closer look at the long single-storey building that can be seen in the lower image of this previous post.
As far as I can tell the building is still standing and looks to be part of the Police Post further up the hill. In the show it is a billet for the soldiers carying out the border patrols.
