Hi all,
after a pause in reporting from my trip to China last year, I’m
back to finish the job!

So today was our last day at Hong Kong and now on top of the resident
fleets, we took an early morning taxi ride around to the maintenance end of
the airfield. More bizjets were to be had here and we also saw some of the
resident fleet that hadn’t been in service whilst we were there. We arranged
the taxi with the help of the Regal hotel staff so that the route to be
taken was understood by the driver.

On the way back, we asked him to drop us off by the Hong Kong Government
Flying Service area and then we walked for a little bit clearing that area
and the next big bizjet area between there and cargo. We were challenged by
security for going up to the fence, but as soon as they knew what we were
doing, we were left to our own devices.

We then caught a bus to Cathay City to get off and photograph the lovely
DC-3 on display there, then we caught another bus back to the Regal.
Later on after checking out of the hotel, we went to find the ‘Skydeck’ that
has been reported before on his forum. It wasn’t easy to find but the views
up there are good, especially for photographs. It also had the bonus of
offering the ability to get some of the over the top aircraft, a lot of
which were inbound or outbound from nearby Macau.

Photographs can be seen here;

It was now time for our evening flight to Shanghai/Pudong on B-8371, Airbus
A320-214 of Spring Airlines. This flight was badly delayed by stormy weather
around Shanghai, so we were left sweating a bit………Flight number was
CQH8960 for a 2 hour and 25 minute flight.

We parted ways with Garry at this point as he was off to meet his wife who
had come over so that they could do a tourist extension to this trip. For
the rest of us it was a taxi ride across to Shanghai/Hongqiao in readiness
for our flight home via Beijing/Capital. Make sure you haggle with the taxi
drivers over here as they will offer you a set fee. If you think it’s too
high, then you can ask to go by the meter instead. We saved a lot of money
going with the meter 🙂
