Heading approximately north over Kowloon City. Dead centre is a white block of flats with redish stripes along its length. That was Block 5, Sunderland Road, RAF Married Quarters and where I lived. Below the block of flats is Kowloon Tsai Park,and just to the right is The Chequer Board used by pilots on the approach to Kai Tak Airport. Bottom right of the photo and either side of the aircraft structure you can make out Kowloon Walled City.

Beacon Hill, Unicorn Ridge and Lion Rock (Obscured by aircraft structure). Bottom left corner you can see where Waterloo Road heads into Lion Rock Tunnel. Dead centre of the photo you can make out a path leading up to Unicorn Ridge. This is the route I used to run up to the ridge, along to Beacon Hill then back down the winding road and home to Sunderland Road.
