RAF VC 10 LANDS KAITAK.wmv contains a movie which can be played by Windows Media Player (player supplied with Windows XP). The movie of a Royal Airforce VC 10 approaching to land at Hong Kong's former airport Kaitak and is assembled from flight video footage originally recorded in FS2004 .frs format which has then been edited and converted to the more widely exportable format (.Wmv) using FRAPS video capture software and finally, Widows Movie Maker. I was motivated by nostalgia and a desire to preserve something of a remarkable place in a former time. I hope it succeeds in the recreating some of the awesome excitement of landing at Kaitak airport, now sadly closed. The VC 10 aircraft model is the excellent work of David Maltby as shown in the credits. It is the C1K tanker version but I prefer to imagine it as the troop transporter version (I couldnt find a model for this) that regularly flew in British forces personnel and their families when Hong kong was still a British Crown Territory. I have used the superb scenery add-on 'Hong Kong 2004';distributed by Flightsoft, also listed in the credits.
