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.

RAF HOMANTIN bus

This 'Bus' with the signboard RAF Homantin on the bumper highlights yet another obscure RAF establishment in Hong Kong. I think this location was a mansion block on the middle slope of Homantin Hill Road that when I lived above it in the 1970s housed RAF families. But what was its purpose at the time this picture was taken that required a dedicated bus service? IDJ
