His children, Karl Partridge and Norma Perceval-Price also reminisce of their time spent there when they would be allowed a holiday each year by the government to leave Northern Ireland and visit their father at his place of work. the family's amateur footage of their time in Hong Kong captures it before a time of great change for the former colony.
