Default SBS 1 this Saturday Night..
Engineering Connections
Hong Kong International Airport
7.30pm – 8.30pm SBS ONE
Saturday 17 April 2010

Quote:
Hong Kong houses the fifth largest international passenger airport in the world yet before it was built in the late 1990s, its site was no more than a featureless expanse of water. Richard heads east to learn how the airport was built from scratch on a specially constructed island and reveals how this famous landmark connects with a World War II bomber, cold war spying devices and a brass band.
should be worth watching.

Hi Monty

Sounds like a must watch ; thankfully nothing on this Saturday night so hopefully I'll have the TV unless overruled by a higher authority.

I've got several pages bookmarked which describe the construction of this massive project so seeing the doco (for the first time) should be very interesting.

Cheers

Bob
