Comet at Kai Tak

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1959

A B.O.A.C. Comet on the apron.  North Point is probably behind it and note the half-decked B.O.A.C. bus.  They were used in the mid to late fifties to ferry passengers from the Air Terminal in the foyer of the Peninsual Hotel to the airport and then out to the waiting planes. (Andrew S)
