Got it on DVD a couple of years ago, well worth watching, good old British Stiff Upper Lip movie. Filmed at Wolverhampton Airport if memory serves. Also, think from memory a very young Leslie Phillips in the control tower! Ding dong...

Raymond Francis it looks like to me, later to star as DS/DCS Lockhart in tv series 'Murder Bag' and its successors.

Looking on a map, if you draw a line between the two transmitters we're just about on it, so maybe we're getting a 'back beam' from Hannington.
Chev'
Wasn't Lockhart the snuff-taking Det' Super in 'No hiding place ' ? I loved it when he and his Sgt went chasing the baddies in their Met' Wolseley 4/44 ( or was it 6/90? ) with the bell dingling away - no blues and 2s in those days!

Murder Bag was first, followed by 'Crime Sheet' then 'No Hiding Place', all with Francis and his sidekick Eric Lander.

Edit: my mistake, it was "The Sound Barrier" in which Phillips played a controller. Another film to watch on a rainy weekend afternoon!
Just jealous because I can't get that channel

As I said, I've got extra channels (about 36 at the last count) from Hannington actually duplications of ones from Crystal Palace except BBC South.
