Presumably there is a rule that Officers tents are located at the top of the hills, while the Pioneer Corp is at the bottom.

The location may still be found from the shape of the ridge-line

The Peninsula Hotel [1927- ]

This BOAC bus is parked outside the Peninsula Hotel on what is now a very busy corner.

The hotel had run its own bus before WW2 for various airlines denoting which one by hanging appropriate signboards on its outside. No pictures of one have yet emerged, although there is a newsprint clipping announcing its arrival in HK in the late 1930s.

Repulse Bay [????- ]

Passenger list extract from a Pan American Trans-Pacific Clipper flight from Hong Kong to Honolulu via Manila. The two young Soong girls appear to be from the Chinese government's TV Soong's family. Presumably the two adult females are escorts.

No doubt someone will be able to identify where 251 Repluse Bay was or still is?
