Which Aerodrome Mk III
It is indeed, RAF Kai Tak where I went to pick up some stragglers when Eagle left for the last time on 27th October 1971. Honkers was a very different place then, and we had a fairly free rein flying around doing various jobs such as lifting equipment to a remote island for the RE to build a water purification plant for the village, same for a lighthouse on the edge of the New Territories with a Chinese gunboat tracking us with the AA to ensure we stayed on our side, landing on the Blue Star ferry pier, etc.
Line ball between Haven't a clue as first in, refined by dook with the actual strip. I hereby nominate dook to carry the torch to the next location
ps this was the return to Eagle from HK, and a flypast for the Governor where we had half a dozen Sea Kings: 100% serviceability wasn't unusual!

Thank you JE - a great challenge.
I feel I should offer this to Haven't a clue. If he is unable to take the baton then I will call OH to give the "international" players an opportunity.

Thanks dook; my apologies to all for being tardy in responding but I have been in a car, departure lounge, an aeroplane, several trains and (sorry) a restaurant.
I'm in the air again tomorrow (I'll be close to Kai Tak for the next week), so regrettably it has to be OH.

Palau perhaps?
