Nice views as well of RAF Kai Tak, the Officer's Mess and Sunderland 'flying boats' in Kowloon Bay.
The 'listening aerials' to the west of the Officer's Mess on the hill had yet to be erected in 1951. Note also the pillbox on Kwun Tong Road at bottom left:

A similar photo to that referenced above comes from the Hedda Morrison Archive dated 1946.
re: photos from hong kong early 50s
Hi Steve, thanks very much for sharing these. They're great to see.
You might be interested in Norman Lawson's photos too. A few years later, but some mentions of the RAF and Tai Mo Shan.
