Tridents in the Peoples Republic of China:
Tony;
Thanks for your reply. Pleased to hear the Chinese CAAC Trident story will be there. I recall those CAAC Tridents when they first started coming into Hongkong way back in the early 1970s. They were of interest then because it was the beginning of the time when all things in China started to change. The pilots of CAAC did not appear to have any problems slotting into the Kai Tak chequer board approach to RW 13 ( no IGS in those days only the CC NDB ) The word was that they were all military pilots but they handled the Tridents nicely. It was good to see them coming and going at Kai Tak. To aviation people they were just another operator, no politics amongst pilots. All the best with the restoration. Regards,
O.P.
