1st two pics are coming out of the turn at Chequerboard hill and lining up
(Virgin A340 – G-VAEL). There was a joke about a pax looking into a window from the aircraft and seeing his favourite soap on the TV in the lounge 😀

Mod – I thought I would add the rest of the pics to this thread to keep them all together rather than start a seperate thread in the photos section if thats OK?

Superb Shots of Kai Tak, back in 1996 i was fortunate enough to be allowed on the flight deck for the landing in to Kai Tak. It’s a memory that wont fade away

Thanks Dan, I would have loved to have been on the flight deck when we were landing. A friend of mine who worked for Air Hanson flew on a Martinair DC.10 into Kai Tak and the captain called him up to the cockpit for the landing and like you he said it was an experience he would never forget.

Are we talking about a 35mm neg/slide scanner, or a flat-bed style print scanner (or indeed the latter with a neg/tranny adapter)?

Either way, ramp the scanner up to the maximum input resolution possible (there will be a setting for this in the software), do a pre-scan and then crop the image accordingly, then do a final scan. You will end up with a huge image which, if you want to upload to forums like this, you will need to downsize using Photoshop or whatever just like you do with digital output. My recommendation is always scan at maximum resolution and do not reduce the input (scan) resolution to get close to the image size you want as max resolution followed by a downsizing in PS will always yield better quality results.

Andy, Many thanks for your response but to reply I am having to get my daughter to come around and explain this to me as I am a total technophobe. I will be back shortly.
Thanks
