This Comet has a label that states: “A few Comet tanks were brought to Hong Kong during and after the Korean War (1950-53). Only one was retained by the British Army and was displayed in the Shek Kong Barracks until 1995 when the Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) disbanded.” This Comet is the one that was previously a gate guardian at Shek Kong. It appears to be fitted with a fake muzzle brake, and has an extra machine-gun fitted in the mantlet, in the aperture for the gunner’s sight.
