When flying was classy: Retro video shows Kai Tak Airport in the 60s

Cantonese-language Facebook page “Old Hong Kong” shared a retro clip aired by TVB that shows the passenger terminal of the now-defunct Kai Tak Airport in 1963.

“We wonder who the people in the clip are, but we are sure people will recognise them once they see them,” the page wrote in the video’s caption.

 

粵語片中,1963年的啟德機場客運大樓。片中人是誰,相信一看便知道了。
