After leaving the airport, the next shot we see is of the cars driving along Salisbury Road. This view was shot from the Blackhead Point hillside (aka Signal Hill Garden) with its previously unfettered view of the peninsula and harbour below. At this time the other side of the tracks by the pedestrian bridge was still occupied by Holt's Wharf, and obviously the KCR terminus stayed aropund until its eventual demolition in 1978. You can just see a train on the sidings at the top of the lower image.
