I am guessing St Athan. Most of the series is filmed an around cardiff. The tower looked like standard military. Could be wrong though. They did filma couple of scenes at Cardiff airport at the flying club.
We enjoyed that episode. Lovely biplane. Looked like they had taken the glass out of the cockpit window presumably to avoid camera reflections - or did it have no glass originally.
Also a bit at Cardiff. Particularly liked the line "A Cessna!. My first 'plane was a Cessna. Hasn't changed much." This from a former ATA pilot? What was that all about? Must admit I was slightly concerned that Torchwood could come up with a new passport for all the people but no modern ATPL for her. Maybe the CAA should take over from the Home Office. (OK I know its not real.)
"A Cessna!. My first 'plane was a Cessna. Hasn't changed much."
Valid comment on both points. The year they were dragged from was 1953 or 1954 if you recall Jack's question to her. Lots of Cessna's flying by then and yes, they haven't changed much at all. Neither have the engines...
Had a flight in that particular Rapide around the summit of Snowdon back in about 1990.... The girly who played the pilot was a great bit of totty.....
Jabber, of course you are correct but her first aeroplane was hardly likely to be a brand new Spam Can. More likely a Tigermoth.
Saw the "new" range at Sun and Fun this year(172,182,206). Not too much difference on the outside but the standard two screen "Glass Cockpits" were outstanding. At the flick of a switch the flight instruments can be displayed on the right. Great if you are shairing the flying on a long trip.
(OK I know its not real.)
