This SCMP report on RAF Vampire jet-fighters being delivered to Hong Kong quotes them staging at numerous places for fuel and rest where transiting British military aircraft would certainly not be welcome today.

Among the many pictures on Gwulo attributed to 367 Association archives there are probably images of the first RAF Vampires to join 28 Squadron at Kai Tak.

Not to be confused with the Vampire flight piloted by Squadron Leader Francis that overshot Hong Kong and landed at in China at Bias Bay in 1949.
