Rarely seen view of the approach to the old Runway 31 at Kai Tak. The RAF hangar can be seen at mid-right. I guess in the foregound is Jordan Valley ??.

Foreground
In the foreground on the right side should be Lung Shan in Fuk Wah Village - it was a Kuomintang settlement later demolished (circa 1979) to make way for the Lok Wah Estate.
I am guessing the brown brick buildings in the top of the hill were the priests' quarters attached to the Pope Pius Xii school (out of frame on the right).
Centre frame, in the dip, is a cluster of factory buildings that went on to become the main Amoy Canning factory (now Amoy Gardens).
