Summary: Army recruiting advertisement.
Description: A VC10 of Transport Command comes in for a night landing at Hong Kong. Among the passengers is Les Henderson, an RA trooper attached to the Gurkhas - he is shown being driven through the neon lit streets; on a daylight exercise with 105mm pack howitzer; and with guns and 4 x 4 GS trucks at a ceremonial drive past. The Army has given ex-carpenter Les more money, a chance to travel and "get more out of life than if I'd stayed at home."
