Clement (left) & Noel Braga (right) HMS Hermes visit, 9 January 1926.

In January 1926,the new aircraft carrier H.M.S. Hermes visited Hong Kong. One of the pilots, Lieut. Richardson, met Clement and Noel Braga at the Gospel Hall and invited them to see the ship. Security was not a concern in those days, and they went everywhere. Noel wrote in his diary that they spent an hour in "the huge hangar, where we inspected several aeroplanes and seaplanes including his own plane, No.V6, in which we saw the three seats, one for himself, one for the wireless operator, and one for the observer”.  This photo was taken by their brother Paul  when they returned to the pier of the Naval Dockyard.
