The station (airbase) houses units of People's Liberation Army Air Force as well as being open for civilian use during weekends. The closest MTR station is Kam Sheung Road{{cn|date=June 2018}}. History{{Refimprove section|date=September 2014}}Before the British handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, the airfield (airbase) was used by the British Forces Overseas Hong Kong, and was then a Royal Air Force station known as RAF Sek Kong. Construction of the airbase started in 1938, and was completed only in 1950 due to the delay caused by Japanese occupation during World War II. From 1989[1] to 1993,[2] RAF Sek Kong was also a Vietnamese Refugee Detention Centre. It is used by the People's Liberation Army during the week but, during weekends, the general public are allowed to use the airport for operation of private airplanes and to conduct private flight training.[3] At RAF Sek Kong the RAF operated a small and limited force from 1950 to 1996, but they were temporary assignments from the UK. The Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force was the only permanent air force unit in Hong Kong. A partial list of RAF squadrons stationed at Sek Kong before 1997:
A list of RAF aircraft stationed at Shek Kong:
With a Vietnamese refuge camp using the runway from 1989[1] to 1993,[2] the base hosted helicopters only after 1989.{{Citation needed|date=September 2014}} British ArmyThe British Army also operated a squadron of helicopters in Sek Kong from 1970 until 1993, performing observation/reconnaissance and troop-lifting roles on the Hong Kong-Mainland Chinese border and supporting the army on exercises. It was heavily involved in stemming the flood of illegal immigrants from Mainland China. No. 660 Squadron AAC operated until the end of 1993. The squadron, 50 years old at the time, was the last unit using Westland Scout helicopters.[4][5][6] Support equipment
Refugee camp 1989–1993From 1989, the base was also a refugee centre for Vietnamese boat people arriving in Hong Kong.[1] At the peak in 1992, the centre hosted 9,000 refugees.[7] During the time as a refugee centre, half the runway was closed and used for temporary housing (mainly tents). As a result, only rotary aircraft operated from the base. The refugee centre closed in 1993 and the runway was restored for use by fixed wing aircraft. PLAAF base 1997–presentThe PLAAF has had a small presence in Hong Kong since 1997. There is one PLA unit stationed in Sek Kong:
The PLA ground and naval forces also use Sek Kong, mainly for training and Opening Day use. With the PLAAF operating helicopters, the runway is mostly used for civilian fixed wing aircraft. There are four "H" marked along the runway for the Z-9 to land and avoided the need to create helipads at the base. Private useThe Hong Kong Aviation Club, Hong Kong's private recreational flying organisation, moved most of its aircraft to Shek Kong in 1994 after the hours for general aviation at Kai Tak Airport were sharply reduced, to two hours per morning, as of July 1 that year.[8] Usage of private aircraft at Shek Kong is restricted to weekends.[9] See also{{Portal|Hong Kong|Aviation}}
