Wow. Thanks for that link Argonautical
I was a service brat in the early 1960’s because my Dad was a service school teacher in Singapore and Hong Kong, so I remember those places very well.
I particularly remember the flight from Singapore to Hong Kong via Saigon in a Hastings in 1960.
Awesome to see view from the Argosy as it approached HK. The school my Dad taught at, and which I attended, was under short final on the approach to Kai Tak. It showed up quite clearly, and in close up, from the Argosy cockpit!
That bought back memories from 60+ years ago.
Many thanks again Argonautical for bringing the programme to my attention!!
