Kwanti Racecourse
Kwanti Racecourse was a racecourse in Kwan Tei, in the northern New Territories of Hong Kong. It was active from 1926 to 1950 and was run by the Fanling Hunt and Race Club.
On September 5, 1940, a Junkers Ju 86 (M-213) of Manchukuo Airlines made an emergency landing at the racecourse due to engine trouble on a passenger flight from Taihoku to Canton. All three people on board were injured, one seriously, and the plane was written off.
The next day, another Nippon Airways plane on the same route suffered an engine failure and crashed into trees nearby while attempting to land; it was also written off.
