Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Kai Tak Airport, Kowloon

There's a landing sequence in The Survivor that appears to have not been used before.  It shows a plane flying in from the west with HK Island in the background. If you look carefully you can see the row of tenement buildings that still sit between Mok Cheung Street and Ma Tau Kok Road. Interestingly, in the second image below you can see a pointed hill behind where the aforementioned tenement buildings start and I believe this may be the rocky pinnacle that was part of the Whampoa dry dock until the are was redeveloped. Can anyone confirm?
