Are there any mapping enthusiasts out there who have access to this map/diagram which is a pre-war air pilots aid to finding and landing at Kai Tak aerodrome?

Dated 1937, it was produced by SHELL AVIATION, an off-shoot of the SHELL OIL Company.

SHELL initially create and distributed airfield diagrams for the many new aerodrome being constructed around the UK, and when fliers started flying further afield, the company started producing them for airfields overseas. Prior to this, pilots made their own hand-drawn route maps and airfield diagrams

This picture gives a different perspective of the Kai Tal Airport site and the San Po Kong area  than that we normally see.

David’s recent 2017 photographs appear to have been taken from a high level in the area where the remains of Runway 13 can be seen crossing the incomplete Prince Edward Road.

The RAF/Japanese hangar can be seen in the centre in plain sight, and with open access to the nearby main road
