Production

The film was partly made at the long-gone London Air Park in Feltham, Middlesex. It is now a cinema and out of town shopping complex. After service as a fighter repair works and wartime aircraft factory during World War II, the air park closed down in 1946 to avoid air traffic conflicts with the new nearby Heathrow Airport. Feltham District Council purchased the park in 1956.
