Large Plate Original Photograph of Kai Tak
. . . . .with Reclamation work in progress so probably during 1928
Hong Kong's old Kai Tak Airport was named after two businessmen , Sir
Ho Kai and Mr. Au Tak, who were involved in a company formed to reclaim
land in Kowloon Bay for a residential housing scheme. The Company,
unfortunately, failed and the reclaimed land was left vacant. The
suitability of using this land as an airfield was recognized and the
first recorded flight from Kai Tak took place on the LUNAR New
Year's Day in 1925.The aviation began on this unique piece of land with
a flying school and a British military flying unit.In 1928, a concrete
slipway was built for seaplanes using Kowloon Bay.In 1930, the first
aerodrome superintendent was appointed with the aviation activities at
Kai Tak coming under the administration of the Harbour Department. In
1935, the first control tower and a hangar were built. The first
commercial passengers flight 'Dorado' landed on 24 March 1936 from
Penang operated by the Imperial Airways. With this arrival a new era
began for Kai Tak as an airport for public transportation. CONDITION
