The MU coming into land at Kai Tak. Our small fast planes used to get lost over the mainland/border and happen to return to HK space with a camera load of what is going on over the line. Here I was providing cover and due to the low level aerobatics of the pilot I was sick about 8 times.

Mid 1970s, landing Runway 13 from the Kowloon City direction. Work on the construction of the Airport Tunnel under the Kai Tak runway to Kowloon Bay was taking place at the time.

A similar photo taken in 1980.
