Kai Tak Airport as it will look when completed in 1958. Part of the existing run- way is seen on the extreme left. The new airport, with its impressive runway heading straight out into the waters of Kowloon Bay, will be situated on an 8,200-ft. artificial promontory reclaimed from the sea. The contract for con- struction, excluding airport buildings, is for $90,000,000, the largest contract ever let in the history of the Colony. In the middle distance, centre, is the Kun Tong_reclamation, being made for industrial development, and described in the Review of the Year. In the distance is Lyemun, the deep-water narrow entrance to the Port of Victoria, used by most ocean-going shipping.
