Whicker's Orient - Alan Whicker (1972) - Deepwater Bay, Hong Kong

The first interview Whicker does with one of Hong Kong's shipping tycoons is Y.K Pao. Pao was famous for partaking in a daily swim in Deepwater Bay not far from his home and this is where Whicker has to go in order to grab a short but sweet interview with the hardworking fella. It might be this love of swimming that triggered the naming of Aberdeen's public swimming pool complex after the old man. For a reminder of what I am talking about, it was one of the locations seen in Golgo 13: Assignment Kowloon. Look carefully in the background of the images below and you'll see the VRC building. It's a very similar angle to this one filmed around the same time.
