I was lying body down on the carpet in the lounge in my old semi detatched house which, once, seemed huge. My parents were watching on the couch concentrating on the 12 year old television. I remember watching for a while before asking "what is this?" or something and they explained. I remember thinking the equivalent of "grr" as growing up I watched a lot of the crude old WWII films where the British mostly came up on top as well as the war storys from my grand parents. I also remember the white naval uniforms a lot of people wore on that day.
Well thats about it, a strangly vivid memory from 10 years ago tomorow when I was 6 or 7.
9 1/2 years on I still didn't know what it was all about until I started getting interested in flight simming etc when I heard about a lot of videos from this "kai tak" airport of which i'd never heard of before. Recently I started to look up more about it as I noticed on so many of these videos that there was so many British controllers and pilots (suppose a lot of them are/were expats). After a while I connected this memory with it and found that it was coming up to 10 years, tomorow.
Here's a video on youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=os4p8MfAqQY Must have been the same stuff I was watched all those years ago.. really sad to watch it now
Anyone else remember this? Did they want us to go or what? Great shame![Mad :mad: :mad:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/mad.gif)
