     "To facilitate arrangements for special operations, CAD will establish temporary RFZs in the area around Stonecutters Island, Victoria Harbour and Tathong Channel (see the area indicated by a red dotted line in the attachments) with effect during respective periods between July 2 and July 6. No aircraft will be permitted to enter the zones, except for Government Flying Service flights.
