The above episode was called Pressure Point.

A Blake's 7 episode filmed in around 1979 called Harvest of Kairos was filmed at Bovingdon Airfield in Herts.

RAF Fairford was used for the Dr Who story The Invasion in 1968, a Cybermen story. The base was then in RAF control.

Tangmere airfield was also used for Dr Who: The Cybermen story Silver Nemesis in 1988 and Revelation of the Daleks filmed in early 1985.

Booker airfield in High Wycombe was used for the Dr Who story The Deadly Assassin in 1976.

More recently, St. Athlan in South Wales has been used in many recent Dr Who stories including: The Age of Steel (2006), The Empty Child (2005) and Planet of the Ood (2007).

The video to that awful Dr. Who inspired pop song, of which I cant remember the year or title, was actually filmed at Yatesbury. Anyone know which airfield is pictured on the inside cover of Pink Floyds Division Bell CD sleeve?

I saw the video of it on the David Gilmour night a few days ago. Couldn't see anything that would narrow it down though.

I'm sure that it is Witchford near Ely which is where the video was shot.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Wisley - Local Hero 1983 - autobiography of director David Puttnam, the film required the construction of typical 1930s street and housing set onto the runway at Wisley. Superb film.
