Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1931

Arthur Vere Harvey was an early member of the Far East Aviation Co based at Kai Tak and of the Far East Flying Training School.

His main role involved selling British aircraft in South China

After a career in the war-time RAF, post-war he became a Member of Parliament in the UK.

He was not an early 'Air Pilot' in Hong Kong.

Many had preceeded him by the 1930s. but they were probably not conscientious enough to be listed on the Juror's Roll Call  .

The above clipping from The Aeroplane magazine published in the UK on 30 November 1945, mentions a number of prominent business people of the time who I do not recall being listed on Gwulo as members of the HK Volunteers, POWs interred during the war, or had died during the conflict.

Gwulo readers who compile such data-bases may be able to fill-in the backgrounds of these names i.e.

Mr W.McCombe,  Mr G.G.N. Tinson,  Mr K.S. Morrison,  John Robinson,  Mr C.E. White & Mr H.R. Pinna
