From A Light Aircraft 1979

In 1979, Hong Kong had two flying clubs based at the edge of the former Kai Tak International Airport. We used to take off and land behind Jumbos - allowing time for the wing vortices, which could flip a light aircraft over, to die down.  The Flying Club and The HK Aviation Club merged while I was on the Flying Club Board. When commercial flight operations moved to the 'new' airport at Chek Lap Kok, the Club moved to the military landing strip at Shek Kong. After the handover, China's Peoples' Liberation Army took that over.  As I write in 2022, I'm not sure what happens now but The HK Aviation club still has a website.  
These were scanned from old 3R prints and kept out of historical interest.
