Re: Victoria to Aberdeen 1954
Hi there,
The old Cricket Club is visible in this photo. That would mean the photographer was also on the Northern Slope of the Hong Kong Island. Should be a bit higher than Kennedy Road for this one.
Best Regards,

Zoom in to the bottom right
Is that the Bowen Road Military Hospital (Island School) in the trees at the bottom right? which means the picture would have been taken from somewhere up Magazine Gap.
Bowen Road BMH from Magazine Gap
Looks like the former BMH through the trees. A similar shot taken from Magazine Gap.
The west wing
Great shot Moddsey,
I think the 1954 image is of the east wing, not the west wing, the corner stairwells are smaller.
