BA 747-400 Kai Tak 13 chequerboard approach in low cloud/mist. Saw the cranes and buildings briefly then the turn to the right shortly followed by full power, nose going up, noise of gear going up etc. The cabin went quiet. Very quiet.

After a few minutes the Captain came on the PA with a suitably reassuring message delivered in the usual unhurried and calm manner. Then round again, and this time a perfect landing.

I miss that approach!

Had enjoyed an RTO in a 146 on the IoM's short runway on the same trip....again a non event for those up front.
