Only just noticed one of the IFC towers being built on the left of this photo. I don't even remember seeing either IFC tower until 2007!

On the Lantau ferry from Central to Silvermine Bay (Mui Wo).

HSBSC headquarters-construction cranes with wind sails-1983

The cranes used in the construction of the HSBC headquarters used 'wind-sails' on their jibs when very strong winds were expected to keep the crane aligned with the wind until the storm had passed.

Not something I have noticed in recent years on modern cranes.
