Unbelievable! I'm a plane fan, my entire childhood I travelled all over the world because my father was stationed in uncounted countries around the world. He used to work for Biman Bangladesh Airlines. But Along with Aeroplanes I'm also a BUS fan. A big one. I used to cry when I was a kid to sit in the first seat. Still, today if I get on to a bus in London I literally run upstairs to grab the front seat.

Sam I became very very emotional. I lived in Hongkong from 1993-96. I used to call HongKong my second home out of Bangladesh. First was Singapore. So many big-hearted good friends I left behind that I don't have or I would say lost contact with. Wish facebook was there at that period of time.

Hi, Sam great to see another of your video's as specially ashing Kong is also where I went to school and lived for many wonderful years. Like you I used to hang out around Kowloon city and visited Kai Tak airport. I also remember going to the tailors that had a rooftop viewing deck where you could almost touch the planes as they landed at the airport. I also like following all the videos and content you have to offer as it's great to hear and see another aviation enthusiast like myself. I attended KGV school from 1993-1999, and grew up in the one of the greatest cities in the world. By the way I will be at the Farnborough airshow this year in 2020 and would love to meet you in person if that's possible. Yours sincerely Mr Kwan Ming.

It's changed a lot since 1986 when I first flew into the old airport, that final approach with a sharp bank just before short finals was always fun. So modern and slick now and so well oiled. That train in from the airport is also superb, one can check in baggage at the main station.

The vision from the observation area is great and the old Kai Tak stuff brilliant. Am I right in saying the old airport was named after a Mr Kai and a Mr Tak...perhaps a memory lapse from me on that ? I flew into Kai Tak on both approaches over the years with Cathay and it was always a highlight of the flight....and one more thing is the old checkers board guide still there or has it gone...it should have stayed as a piece of aviation history!
