Lyemun Barracks storm

I think the photo shows the view from Cape Collinson across to today's Tseung Kwan O (Junk Bay). Not sure but the preceding storm photo here may show the building and aerials at RAF Little Sai Wan. 

The view across can be seen below.

Like Moddsey, I wondered whether the two photographs of the storm might have been taken on the hillside above the old RAF camp at Little Sai Wan.  It certainly looks like Junk Island in the centre of this image, maybe with what we always referred to as 'the Point' at lower right.  I also wondered whether the two storm photograph make a panorama image if 'storm 2' is added to the right of 'storm' - but the lie of the land does not agree with that.  A big concern for both images is that I have no recollection of any trees on the slope just above the camp's buildings - just barren ground and none of the many photographs in the 367 gallery show any.  The building on 'Storm' is a puzzle. The rear of the Airmen's accommodation block seemed promising but it appears to be in isolation which it was not in 1957.  It is just possible that the photographs were taken much earlier in 1950/52, when other buildings were yet to be built but when the two Japanese aerial masts (perhaps just visible on 'Storm') still stood below the Airmen's Accommodation block.

The colour photograph was definitely taken from the Cape Collison Road.  It overlooks the resettlement huts and buildings that replaced the first wooden shacks still occupied by the squatters in 1957.  RAF Little Sai Wan is at the top right of the photograph.  Regards Andrew

they do line up. I took the liberty, result is below:

The angle suggests somewhere closer to Lyemun barracks/Fort area though.

I wonder if the open space in front is the barrack football field. It's still around. That would make the building on the left the former block that was demolished to make way for the riding stables.

Fascinating!  Lyemun it is  I wonder whether what looks like a flattish area in the foreground is the soccer pitch at Lyemun, recently used for one of the Covid(?) isolation places.  The large building on the left looks very much like one of the pre-war accommodation blocks that was occupied by the RAF in the early 1950s but which was demolished so that the Jockey club building could be built.  Just looked at your several contributions and see that we all seem to agree that it is Lyemun.   Somewhere on the 367 Gallery there is a photograph of that accommodation block taken from the road just above it. Well done everyone!  Andrew

I've found the photograph in Bill Weild's gallery within the 367 gallery 

.  It's Lyemun Block2, 1952

Other photographs that show the same building/place are in M Trousdale's gallery - 7a and 7j.  Apologies for leaving the main thread - didn't realise it had happened!  Andrew

Hi , it would be nice if you could also share your other photos that have been referenced to Flickr onto Gwulo so that  our group can also provide their inputs. I think the location of this particular photo at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/davislenscraft/53723671704/in/album-72177720316999454/ has so far not been discussed yet on this forum. Thanks in advance.
