Thanks for the interesting photos. We've also got some more information about and photos of that hangar. [CORRECTION: As IDJ notes, the page I'd linked to is about a different, older hangar, not this one.]

Regards, David

The hangar shown in these pictures is a post-war structure that was at the south end of the RAF site at Kai Tak.

Close to the end of one of the old runways. Not the old RAF/Japanese hangar,

Thanks for the correction. I've made a new Place for this post-WW2 hangar.
