The Queen Mary 2 prepares to dock at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Hong Kong. Tough shot this one. We knew she was scheduled to dock at 0700 but with first light at 0645 and a deceptively fast moving subject we knew that getting any kind of shot with decent brightness and sharpness was going to be a challenge. She was a bit ahead of schedule and we arrived on the scene just as QM2 was being turned to be pulled into the pier. The sun was just starting to rise, casting some much needed light on the port side facing. We literally had a couple of fleeting minutes to get these shots, so we felt pretty lucky. But after taking all things into account, sometimes you make your own luck.

Interesting view of the Heinkel He 12 floatplane placed on the Heinkel K2 catapult. The idea was to catapult the machine off the passenger ship about 5/600 sea miles before New York to deliver the post earlier. An expensive way of air post delivery.

This Heinkel He 12 had civil registration D-1717 and was named 'New York'. The passenger ship it was catapulted from was named 'Bremen'.

The first catapult flight of the 'New York' was on 22 July 1929 where it landed safely in New York to deliver the post early. The same feat was later repeated on the German side, when the post was delivered by the Heinkel floatplane in Bremerhaven.

The catapult could be turned before launching the Heinkel floatplane to let it fly sideways away from the passenger ship Bremen.

Surprisingly the catapult concept was steadily developed in Germany with new planes and better catapults, although the advantage in the earlier delivery of the post was minimal.
