What happened to the Arrival Hall Miramar Snack Bar at Kai Tak Airport?

Submitted by starcraft6fan on

Hi all! I uploaded some stills from movies in the 80s (hopefully it's ok), Aces Go Places 最佳拍檔 1982, and The Occupant 灵气逼人 1984. They all show that there was a Arrival Hall Miramar Snack Bar behind the Arrivals Hall flight display board. The board was then suspended from the ceiling.

How do I find photos of a specific building?

Submitted by Admin on

Let's imagine you're looking for photos of 250 Prince Edward Road, taken around the 1950s.

First visit Gwulo's map and zoom in to the area showing the building you are interested in: Map of all Places

(You can try different layers. e.g. the 'Map by OSM' layer is better at showing the names and street numbers of buildings.)

Why can't I login?

Submitted by Admin on

One of Gwulo's long-term contributors recently got in touch to say they couldn't log in to the Gwulo website. They'd enter their usual username and password, and they seemed to log in without any errors, but the "What's new" page didn't show anything as new, and if they tried to add anything to the site (eg add a comment, upload a photo, etc.) the website asked them to login again.

Victoria barracks

Submitted by lee on

I just seen the photo of the nadfi and swimmingpool  at Victoria barracks  and boy the memories are flooding back. I was only 11y but used to swim there's lot. My old dad was a telephone engineer and worked up the peak. We lived in flats at 154 tai hang road and my school was at George's Kowloon close to Kai tak airport.
