As an Approach and Tower controller at Kai Tak for 12 years, it certainly brought back some great memories.
There was much fascinating info that I didn't put in the show as it was primarily for consumption by a non-aviation audience.
Oner of these was they way pilots and ATC recognised the capabilities and limitations of each other. ATC knew the pilots they could trust and those who may need a little encouragement.
