Interesting photo. I think the single storey building in the centre of the photograph was the Alex. Ross motorcycle and car dealership. The building was was completed in 1929 after the previous building as seen here was destroyed in 1927 during a typhoon. In November 1934, the building with some modification was converted into the Kowloon Post Office (3rd generation). See here

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
