After the early success of my recent enquiry I wonder if the two attached airfield towers can also be identified. The first, with, to my mind the beautiful Dragon Rapide was in the film "Q Planes" made in 1939 largely shot in and around Buckinghamshire and Surrey. The second tower, for which there are two pictures from the film "Way To The Stars" was filmed in 1945 in North Yorkshire. Once again full credit will be given to any identification.

Thanks Stevie, your information is now included on our Site acknowledging your detail. What a great Group Forum, you are all so helpful and informative, very much appreciated.
Very many thanks to you and Paul for another quick and positive response. Your identification has been added to our Site with full acknowledgement to you both. Really appreciate your assistance. Thanks again.
I wonder if the centre pic is in fact Catterick as well, based on the camo pattern which appears to be similar to the last pic which we have already identified as Catterick.
You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
Thanks Paul, I think so without much doubt. It would be very unusual, even to this day, on account of cost, for a film crew to be taken to various locations when one would do. In addition, the middle access door with small window above is identical in both, as are the two drainpipes either side and the window left of the left hand drainpipe.The central drainpipe on the second storey is also present. I think it is also difficult to deny a distinct similarity in shape and proportions of the garage/storage shed from which the vehicle has apparently come. However, we only get things, hopefully correct, by observation and debate so any views and comments are always welcome. Again, thanks for your continued interest.
