new Battle of Britain pictures

Thanks to Ray Noble for the pictures taken on the airfield during the making of the Battle of Britain in 1968. (see airfield)

‘Can confirm that was Bovingdon and yes it is the control tower. The Aircraft were Spanish built and ex Spanish airforce. The Stuka is a mock up and not original. No flying examples existed after the second world war. To the best of my knowledge to date there are still no restored flying examples. However you could confirm this on line. What I can tell you is all Aircraft I have seen in the flesh and they are from the film the Battle of Britain released in 1969 but filmed in 1968. In fact last feature of many to be filmed at Bovingdon. ‘

Stormtrooper takes break from filming

Filming for the first planned Star Wars Anthology film, Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One, is officially underway as the press has aerial photos of some of the cast members on set (in some very familar garb) on location at Bovingdon Airfield. Included in the photos – seen in the Mirror.co.uk and Daily Mail – is what appears to be an Imperial craft and other background structures.

Contrary to what is stated in the article, these photos were taken on location at Bovingdon Airfield, not Elstree Studios. And they are for scenes in Rogue One, not for The Force Awakens.
