Airfields on film

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) RAF Mildenhall,

it was Lakenheath, hence the F15's with LN on the tail !! at a base in the far east !!

I was an extra on some production that was filmed at Boxted, Essex, on July 25th 2005. At least, if Boxted was occupied by USAAF medium bombers in WW2 (Martin Marauders??), that's where I think it was. The current strip is quite small & used by private flyers. There was a club/cafeteria building that was where the 'action' took place, - but I'm blowed if I can remember what the subject of the action was. Must be me age..... Of the old, & much bigger airfield, only some of the concrete runway & taxiways still existed.

Seem to remember an episode of Life on Mars was filmed at an ATC tower, poss the Boxted filming ?????

The last ever episode of life on mars included a scene on an airfield, I think it was Blackbushe

Hi there

Just been watching the old James Bond film "Thunderball" about a group of baddies who hijack a Vulcan bomber and make off with its Nuclear bombs.

Well, there's a scene of a group of airmen arriving at an RAF base and as they pull up to the guardroom the guard is checking their passes, which is followed by a scene of some vulcans parked on along the runway and them taking off in one.

Any ideas where these scenes were filmed?

Was any of it at Scampton by any chance?

Just curious and a cursory google search has failed to yield any results.

I am watching it too!!

My guess is Scampton but not 100% sure

As Bonds tend to be filmed at Pinewood my guess is the guardroom is Northolt as its very near. And the Vulcan film is RAF stock film, so yes its probably Scampton.

this is what ive got
Guardroom is Northolt




And Vulcans on the airfield is Waddington
