When I came to HK the first time, I took 4 films - from the airport alone. Most was taken standing on the roof of a parking house next to the departure hall. Just found the films few days ago. They was taken in 1996. NONE came even close to this spectacular photo. It show so many things at the same time. Modern world and Old HK living, the airports crazy requirements to the pilots and the beauty of a Jumbo just "hanging" there. Amazing photo. Impressive photographer! Congratulations. |

Jesper, Thanks very much. I'm not a great photographer, I just know how to take planes !. You should see my family pics :-(

Tell your family to run around making engine noises and the photos should be brilliant! |

An amazing shot of the aircraft, Darryl. You should send a copy of it to Cathay Pacific for advertising purposes. (Make sure you charge them for it !!!) :-) |
Posted by Daryl Chapman - The Hong Kong Spotters on May 16, 2003
Cathay, Pay, Money.... those are words that just don't go together. Thanks anyway :-) |

Thanks Andy. Like I've said before what a shame I waited to the last week of operations to try it!! |

Wicked!! It looks like a shot out of a 3D movie or something. Imagine what it would have been like actually on the plane! Scary! |

Amazing photograph Daryl, truly impressive. It says so much about Hong Kong. I wish I had the chance to go and try capture some of the dramatic photo opportunities myself but alas, it is too late now of course. Congratulations on the perfect photograph. |
Posted by Chan Ting-kwan on February 24, 2004
Amazing!!!!!!!!! I'm always dreaming about the re-open of the Kai Tak............ |
Posted by Daryl Chapman - The Hong Kong Spotters on March 2, 2004
I think this pic has now passed my NCA shot in terms of fame!!. Its on the front cover of a Air Utopia Kai Tak DVD, in a International Logistics book, RR are using it in one of their internal books this year and its on the front cover of a Aviation psychology book plus it won 2nd prize in a photo competition in Hong Kong a few years back!! |
Posted by Chan Ting-kwan on March 13, 2004
Congratulation, Daryl Chapman!!!!!!!! |

Your remark says it all!!! Very well timed, Daryl! I'd ask you to take more, but too bad that's not possible! |

Thank you to all of you. This picture can now be found on the cover of a Aviation Psychology book, the Rolls Royce 100 year book, an International Logistics book, a DVD and various other things. One shot I'll never forget. |

Daryl,
I just joined so I could post a comment on this shot although there will be more no doubt.
This outstanding view brings back all my fondest memories of Hong Kong, especially the Kai Tak Heart Attack approach. The framing is one-in-a-million. Congratulations! |
Posted by Kamlesh R. Purswani - The Hong Kong Spotters on July 25, 2005
Now THIS is a one-in-a-million photo if I have ever seen one! Long live CX, long live DC, long live Spirit of Kai Tak! |
Posted by Daniel David Wilson on September 12, 2005

Lively KAI TAK missed it so much ! Perfect from every angle , takes time to capture a moment like this , A great shot WOW ! |
Posted by on January 8, 2009
Hi !
This is AWESOME ! I have been looking for that kind of picture since
I was talking with some friends about the passing of Kai Tak. So it
was why I had to find a few pictures to show why this famous old
airport was dangerous and exciting ! Thanks !
