This is a vampire. 

My Dad came out to Hong Kong with 28 squadron from, I'm told, 1955 to 1958 flying these intially out of Kai Tak and then later from Kam Tin. They would have been the state-of-the-art fighter at the time.

The hills in the background indicate the Vampire was taken at Sek Kong.

Thanks Moddsey, I'll update this and the other mis-labeled photos you spotted.
