'Stalag Luft III'

Bovingdon airfield will soon be playing its latest screen role, as infamous PoW camp Stalag Luft III, in Apple TV's Masters of the Air series, which is expected to be make its debut next month or in April. 'Tasters' have already appeared on the pay-per-view channel.

Accuracy hawks may question the use of the numeral '3' on the camp name board in the photo (instead of the Roman 'III'), or whether any such sign would have existed at all. The set at Bovingdon is said to have cost more than £5m.

Meanwhile some US advisers on the series have noted that "woke" elements in various episodes ignore historical fact.
