On this day in 1972, the members of Led Zeppelin and manager Peter Grant flew from Japan to Hong Kong to meet businessman and newspaper owner Andrew Yu, who was hoping to promote a concert there.

During the day time, we went out in a launch to view the recently scuppered ocean liner Queen Elizabeth. These are some photographs and a video that I took at the time. On the return journey, the launch started to take in water and it was rising in the boat. We barely made it back to the quayside.

In the evening I went out in a sampan into the harbour without the members of the group to savour some local floating cuisine.
