哈囉! Hello!

Many of you know me from my Ian Fleming / James Bond themed Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/flemingneverdies/ . In this episode, I explore some of the British heritage in Hong Kong, which has appeared in three 007 films; You Only Live Twice (1967), The Man With The Golden Gun (1974), and Die Another Day (2002).

Special thanks to Donnie Waldron for recording an excerpt from ‘God Is My Co-Pilot’  by Colonel Robert Lee Scott, Jr. (USAAF) specially for this episode. If you haven’t already, check out Donnie’s podcast, ‘Quantum of History’, and follow him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/quantum_of_history/ 

I also play a very brief clip from “Hong Kong, Gateway To China, 1938”, a classic travelogue you can now find publicly available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIHTrmz4hTI

Enjoy!
