I don't know which street this is. I found the image among my dad's photos of the Tiger Balm Garden, so it's possible that he took a bus to the gardens and snapped this photo before or after his visit.

This is a view of the RAF Officer's Mess on Kwun Tong Road - but the image should be flipped the other way. I guess it was the view from where your dad was based at Kai Tak.

Very many thanks for the info, philk - as you can see the photo is now correctly displayed.

Wonderful picture, thanks. This building still exists by the way and is currently used by Baptist University.

The photo also shows the Ngau Tau Kok bus stop/terminus where servicemen would alight and cross the road to RAF Kai Tak.
