Abeam Green Island was a mental trigger point for all the Cathay old timers who enjoyed the visual to RW13 at Kai Tak. If everything was in place abeam Green Island then it stayed in place all the way around the corner to touchdown. What better place for a visiting warship to anchor for a few days.
O.P.
Nice looking tub!
But; Green Island. Nope, all I remember was it that it had a Red Light. More like Kowloon Magistracy @ 1050ft, around 800fpm and then the shed at the oval @ Kowloon Tsai Park.
Raining? Make sure the FO had his wipers on high so you could see through his window.....
