Where is this Main Gate? was created by Garth Barnard
Just watching The Saint (Roger Moore - 1966) and in the episode 'Flight Plan', Simon Templar visited RAF Blakewell(?).

Does anyone have any idea where this Main Gate is?....

states RAF Hendon.

Hopefully someone will confirm

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

Hendon

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

Hendon's main gate while being used for filming The Dirty Dozen:



Even the K1 telephone kiosk appears to match.

I think the gates and railings were demolished when the road was built to the RAF Museum site. If I recall there were a few airfield buildings along that road that got demolished a few years after the museum opened. I went there in 1974 or 1975 sadly without camera!
