Airfields on film

The BBC Look East article on Stow Maries last Friday week featured archive footage of a Sopwith Camel flying from Old Warden. Does this count on both points?
Also in the film "Robbery" (1967) some scenes took place at a disused airfield in an underground room. I do not know what airfield but the room looked like a wartime control room of some sort.
Some films made use of archive footage such as "Sink the Bismark" But usually there is no means of identifying the airfield.

Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt! (or “Selwyn” which was Yorkshire Television offshoot) RAF Elvington 1974 to 1978
Flambards (Yorkshire Television) 1979 Unknown Location/s
Airline (Yorkshire Television) 1982 Unknown Location/s
RAF Kirton in Lindsey The Dam Busters (used for take off sequences as Scampton and Hemswell both featured concrete runways which weren’t present in 1943).
RAF St. Athan was also used for an episode of Torchwood

Airline had some shots done at Rufforth. The year before the BBC did a series called "buccaneers" about an airline and a lot of that was shot at Luton.

And why oh why did they only do one series of Airline? It was a damn good series.

I'm surprised David Leans 1952 film 'The Sound Barrier' hasn't been mentioned.
This featured amazing (certainly at the time) early fifties flying and factory footage. De Havilands' Hatfield airfield and factory (inc beautiful Comet production line footage) is featured quite well. The main airfield is one of the Supemarine works, I'm guessing Chilbolton, but would love to be able to confirm for sure- does anyone here know?
Also features good air traffic and airfield buildings of the era.

I do believe it the flying sequences were filmed here.

Chilbolton Aerodrome, Nether Wallop, Hampshire, England, UK

Thanks for the confirmation Iflungdung, there is a great shot of the 'Prometheus' (VS.535) taxing into a T.2 with alsorts of Supermarine prototypes in the background, also an Attacker from a flight line office window.
There is also a large factory site with airfield that they over fly in an Anson, not sure which one, could be Hatfield again I suppose, and Farouk (Egypt) for some of the Vampire and Comet scenes.
Its the only film I've seen where aircraft got equal billing with the actors on the opening credits, excellent stuff!

St Athan is used for a lot of filming for BBC series, but all seem non aviation related.

Thanks Paul HP, you're right!
