Three Special Check Point Islands:

Captain Dart:

I have a sneaking feeling that you and I would agree that washing off speed over the stretch of water between the islands of Cheung Chau and Stonecutters was the most pleasant piece of hand flying any pilot could ever wish for. Keeping an eye on Green Island as the "half way point" made stabilizing the approach a breeze but the icing on the cake came after Stonecutters.

What a pity those two crew members (and their contemporaries) you referred to will never know the pleasure of doing something that was highly paid, gratifying, memory making and just plain good fun.

O.P.
