The more wide view shows the mound appearing to have a road partly circling it for access to the building

Old correspondence that has recently surfaced in my files gives a clue as the where the Japanese had their control tower during the war years.

Close study the available pictures of the airfield immediately after the war appear to show only one possible building.

Has anyone seen ground level images of the area where the identified building is situated?

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
