I think the above photo of the arrival of RAF Sunderland "S", RN 265 at Kai Tak is related to the take-off incident of the aircraft at RAF Seletar as mentioned here Date recorded 23 January 1946.

In the photo, RAF personnel, contingent of Japanese POWs and equipment have been assembled for the aircraft's arrival. It is likely the Sunderland was making  a low level pass over RAF Kai Tak for personnel to view the damage sustained prior to its landing in Kowloon Bay.
