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

The Dragon Cup episode is about a visiting photojournalist who goes around Hong Kong with her camera before she is suddenly attacked and robbed by an assailant (played by a very young James Hong). Her coming and going from Hong Kong is marked by a couple of establishing shots of the airport. The first is a plane taxiing to its gate after landing and the second is a shot of the old 'temporary' terminal building (colour image here) that was in existence for a short time while the airport operations were being moved from the old airport site to the south next to the new runway. The new terminal building at Kai Tak didn't open until 1962. Both these sequences were used several times again in the remaining episodes of the series including Lesson in Fear (Ep: 15) and Lady Godiva (Ep: 19).

Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Edinburgh House, Central

One of the establishing shots from episode 11, Nine Lives, is some footage at the junction Queen's Road Central and Ice House Street. A building called York House now stands on the corner in the background but when this series was shot it was the curved corner of Edinburgh House. The "P.G" sign in the background left was the Parisian Grill on Queen's Road Central. The same clip was used again in Episode 15: Lesson in Fear.
