Present runway is at the far end of the runway 10/28 whilst the Dancing on Ice studio is the large black building on the same runway but closer.
Back in '65 when we flew our first gliding sorties from Bovingdon (on detachment from 613 at Halton) we were allocated the slightly 'bent' bit of taxiway at top right next to the row of trees and I had the priviledge of flying the first launch, the gliders having been aerotowed in from Halton by another pilot.
