Just a question that somebody might be able to answer quickly from your cockpit observations.

Google Earth is not quite up to date so was just wondering if anybody could confirm whether or not there is a large wind turbine located on the small island complex just north of LIMES/RUMSY?
Its outside HK SAR territory so we don't have any record here.

Seem to recall seeing one when travelling as SLF regularly.

Thanks in advance!

It's not a turbine..only one of any significance is a solitary mill on Lama.its just east of 9 pins and I believe it's part of the marine AIS system monitoring traffic into Hk waters..from sea level it looks like a giant crucifix..

They are actually wind generators placed there by CX to introduce SIG TAILWIND ON BASE for 07 during line checks etc. :}
