According to Fire Services Departent records, 31 heavy draw-off hydrants were approved for installation in Kowloon and 4 on Hong Kong Island between 1962 and around 1971. 28 were located under the Kai Tak Airport flight path, but several more were placed in other high-risk locations. There was one approved in front of the old Wan Chai Post Office on Queen's Road East in 1963.
Its serial number is unknown. The only evidence of its location we could find was a handwritten memo. Unsure if it was actually installed or when it was removed.
