Air Raid Shelter at RAF Kai Tak

Submitted by moddsey on

Prior to the outbreak of WWII, air raid shelter(s) were built at RAF Kai Tak. I recall there was also an RAF Battery in the hills close to where the MTR comes out of the Choi Hung Tunnel towards Kowloon Bay, now the site of apartment blocks. This photo taken in 1951 shows an air raid shelter beside the boundary fence facing Kwun Tong Rd opposite the Officers' Mess. The Mess and adjacent buildings from the 1930s are still standing today. As for the shelter, I doubt very much it is still around.
