Norman 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Could be out of topic since these were not shots in Summer 2008... BUT 10 years earlier!! Hope you guys don't mind.. That year .... Obs Hill was used as intended... for enthusiasts, spotters and just anybody who just love to watch airport activities... Speedbird! Followed by KLM Asia... CX (who're still loyal to KUL) sent their 340 that day... I was just using small Samsung compact film camera with 3x zoom... so sorry for the quality... Can't even read the regos, even under magnifying glass... And my visits to the Obs Hill would normally be a whole-family affair (Syakir was almost 2 years old... in his mum arms... ) Just found these when doing some cleaning..

Norman 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks guys... Anyone know why was it closed to public? I'm not sure when they started to block the area from public, could be due to 9-11.. Wow OC BA and KLM 747, awesome Just wonder if Norman were just using point and shoot camera Yup... film-based P&S... Samsung (or was it Canon?.. can't remember since both kaputs... unreliable at all... hhahaha) and norman, judging from your picture, man utd still wore umbro. hehehehehe. Yup... 1997's and that's original from Old Trafford.. If anybody has old pix from Obs Hill... can share here (or 32R thread..)
