 (larger version) I was stationed in Inchon for about 6 months, then I was transferred to Teagu, South Korea. Left Seoul, Korea on a flight to Seattle, Washington then to Ft.

Hand, Tom Moore, Juan R. Linan and Thomas A. S???? In 1966 I went on a 2 week R&R to Hong Kong  Arrival at Hong Kong Kaitak Airport In February 2020 I stumbled upon these two photos that I took in 1966. Here's what Peter de Kantzow says: "Due to the angle & aspect It must have been taken from the Peak probably the Peak Tram area. And here's what Wong How Man says: "Top picture is of Victoria Harbour looking down from Victoria Peak, now known simply as the Peak. Your vantage point is next to the Peak Team Station from a kiosk we Chinese called "Fools Kiosk" as every tourist would take a photo of the city from there. The lower picture would be harder to discern. But as you can see clearly the famously tricky Kai Take runway into the sea in the harbor. This is where incoming plane has to bank and make a ninety degrees turn before letting down, avoiding the famous Lion Rock which this photo is taken near its foothill above Prince Edward Road. Back in those days, the foothill spacious fields are all part of the British military barracks. And, from Joseph Chan: The 2nd one is old Kai Tak Airport runway!    Me in front of the Repulse Bay Hotel Entrance  I stayed at the Imperial Hotel And here's the receipt...  While stationed in Korea I met a Korean Military Service man named Al Soh. Here is the front and back of the picture Al gave to me. I last heard from him in 1971, and if he's still living, I'd love to hear from him. He did have a relative or cousin(?) that lived in Sacramento just off of Florin Road. That's all I know about him -- got any ideas???    "To my friend, Tom” From ail Sung" |
