Our popular Kai Tak videos, Hong Kong 98 and Airport Action Hong Kong, are now out on DVD, with menu selection, crisp digital pictures and superb sound.

Here's a full description of the original videos:

Hong Kong 98 - Last Look at Kai Tak

Kai Tak Airport Hong Kong closed in 1998 and this 90 minute digital video is an ideal souvenir of what was once the premier airport for aviation enthusiasts worldwide!

Filmed in June 98, only weeks before the airport closed, our spectacular video captures the latest aircraft to use Kai Tak, with A330s, A340s, 777s and MD90s featured along with a strong cast of 747s -over 30 of them!

This is a Hong Kong video with a difference. With superb airside locations and shots of the airport from a helicopter, you get to see that unique curved approach from five different viewpoints.

That's not all! We take you onto the flightdeck of a Virgin Atlantic A340, at 21,000ft - just as it begins its descent down to that famous curved approach, past the Chequerboard, to Runway 13.
