Having sorted through some old family photos today, I've come across an old card kept by my father from when he was a resident of Hong Kong prior to WWII.

This cropped image shows what appears to be another local BOAC girl in the launch heading for the airport from a flying boat. It is not known if she was air crew or a ground hostess. Possibly a Batley girl.

The young lady in this picture was supposedly the first local BOAC air hostess. No name was supplied with the image when given to me by the captain of the aircraft. It shows staff in a BOAC launch leaving a BOAC flying boat and heading for the Kai Tak airport jetty. She may be a Batley girl.

Somewhere along the north shore of HK island, to the east by the look of it. Any ideas?
