Hi Karen

Just in-case you don't know who Alan Whicker is or his program Whickers World I pulled this off the internet .

The series was notable for being filmed all over the world, with Whicker reporting stories of social interest from each and every continent. Whicker's interviewees would include locals, politicians, celebrities, and even convicted criminals as he reported on stories as far ranging as military dictatorships, British expatriates, the feminist movement of the 1970s, the Tanka people (Boat People) of Hong Kong, the rise of the San Francisco Gay Rights movement in the 1970s, the opening of Disneyworld in Florida, and the growing plastic surgery industry of California. Among his more famous interviewees were actors Peter Sellers, Joan Collins, and Christopher Lee, Haitian President François "Papa Doc" Duvalier, Paraguay dictator Don Alfredo Stroessner, novelist Harold Robbins, Lula Parker Betenson (the 94 year old sister of the infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy), the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah (reportedly the richest man in the world), and various members of the British aristocracy.


But to answer your question, in the opening credits of Whickers World it showed an aircraft flying over head as it came into land just like your image .

Now I really feel old .
