"Passengers Departing" - help please!

Submitted by jill on

In 2019 I posted a request for help under the title “Warrens at Sea” in locating the dates that my family left or arrived in Hong Kong by boat. I’ve been successful in finding 2 out of 6 of those voyages thanks to being offered a trial week to search the SCMP,  which seems to be come up with more “hits” for a name than the mmis search facility.

CLP employee housing on top of substations

Submitted by CityUnseen on

I'm looking into CLP substations built in the 1960s that have employee housing on the upper floors, and would appreciate any information about them. There are roughly a dozen of these substations left, mostly in Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Sham Shui Po, Tai Kok Tsui and To Kwa Wan. I've found one out in Tsuen Wan and another in Tai O. I've been able to access the CLP archives and found mention of them in several annual reports from the early 60s. They were part of a company policy to provide housing for their "Chinese workmen" but few details beyond that.

Panoramas of Hong Kong 1900-1999

Over the years I have collected  a large number of panoramic photographs of Hong Kong so I thought I would collect them all on one page, together with other Panoramas posted on Gwulo, divided into decades. Some of the dating is approximate so please feel free to post corrections on the individual panoramas page

Part 1, Hong Kong 1842-1899 can be found here

Kai Tak - BOAC Flight Registration numbers

Submitted by Hemmers on

Hi all - a bit of a shot in the dark but I am looking to find the aircraft registration number for a BOAC 707 that took me and my family to HK for the first time on Saturday 9th September 1967 departing London Heathrow. I am having a display model made and would love to have the correct registration number if possible. Not sure where to look or even if its possible to find out such a thing.

Many thanks in advance. Keith
