Sorry to be a little off topic but have just seen this whilst on an "overnight" in Hong Kong.
I arrived in Hong Kong when I was six in '58 and left in '68, it brought back memories of growing up there and the old Kai Tak where I spent a bit of time, the new terminal and runway were built in about '61 I think. Yes there was some use of the old and new runways in the video.
My dad worked for HAECO at the airport and had something to do with a partial restoration of the spitfire in about '87. I remember him saying it would not be flying again, must go to Duxford and have a look next time I go to London.
