Hong Kong Air linked this heliport on Hong Kong Island to Kai Tak. Its scheduled services started in December 1970, but demand dropped following the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel and the company ceased flying in 1976. The heliport was overbuilt later. This Bell 212 went through many identities. It became ZH814 with the Royal Air Force in 1994 and reverted to G-BGMH days before this photo was uploaded in July 2022. Photo from: Hong Kong Government
