3TELECOMMUNICATIONS UNIT ASSOCIATION PHOTO GALLERY
This month we start our 3 Telecommunications Unit photo gallery. Initially Labuan has been our first port or
call but it is envisaged that Hong Kong and possibly Singapore will have their own page. There will be a page
for the 3 Telecommunications unit plus one for all current events. It would be much appreciated if members
could help me with photos of Hong Kong or Singapore (either in hard copy or jpg format. Please be patient
with me. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO SEE ENLARGEMENTS
