Leased to Dan Air in October 1967. Probably taken before this date.

Thanks for that, moddsey. Picture was taken from the viewing area overlooking the apron at 'old' Kai Tak, as it was taxiing for take-off.

Kai Tak Observation Deck with the flags of the carriers that operated into the airport. Note the green park benches and a BOAC Comet on the main apron.

The Observation Deck View Finder with a film star operating it. I think it cost a dollar to use and one could hear the timer go tick tick tick in the background.
