Photographer’s remark
The Farman biplane, piloted by Belgian aviator Charles Van den Born, was the first aircraft to fly in Hong Kong on 18 March 1911 at Sha Tin. On 15 November 1997, 86 years after that first flight, this replica Farman flew at Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok. (Source: Hong Kong Airport Authority)
