RAF Scenes in England and France
The French chateau that was constructed to be seen
in the background of the scene on the French airfield early in the movie.

One of the cast members plays the bagpipes for
others on the set of an RAF airfield.
An RAF anti-aircraft emplacement made for the movie
Duxford airfield seen from the air today. You can
see the large white half dome of the 'new' American air museum there. Above it
are the several
pairs of old WWII hangars. I'm guessing that the brown patch where a hangar
would obviously be is the former site of the hangar blown up for
the movie. In addition to the more modern paved runway (to the right), you can
see the grass runway '06' that is still used by some of the older
aircraft that visit Duxford annually.
Detonating explosives simulating a German bombing
attack on an RAF airfield.
The Ventnor radar tower under construction for the
movie. Only the bottom part was constructed,
as the top was not seen in full scale.
