I may be wrong but I think it may be a Bristol Brittania. I have compaired images and the Brittania seems the closest match. Stephen

Nice Photo of the old Cleawater Bay Road, Looks like the Britannia was taken from a bus that had stopped on the road. Similar scene here

Just looked at rear of photo, says Brittania taking off from Kai tak. Should have read first.  Stephen
