Airbase - Secret Wilts Location
As someone who used regularly tramp the pans at the "Airbase" (mostly weekends only!) until a few years ago, really enjoyed it.
Thought the stuff shot at the beach was great - where is it? (if that's not a state secret) - Pendine??
Didn't realise the K's had so many new in-cockpit gizmos!

Really enjoyed it, some interesting "characters" emerging.
Many thanks to BEagle for revealing the Sky process!
Did I see a DC-10 in the background at one stage?

Yes, the beach was Pendine. We spent about 4 hours filming day and night (NVG) stuff.
Unfortunately, no one from Tac ATC saw the programme as we were all away (nothing new there then!).
I hope the rest of the series is a good as everyone has said. The production crew (the same ones that did Waddo) were very keen to improve on their other programmes. They were full of praise for the help and co-operation that Lyneham gave.
Keep watching....

Saw part 2 last night - not bad, although the Wg Cdr did spoil things by saying "We've been flying the Hercules since the early 70's". Actually it was April 1967....
It's a shame the Pilot's wife couldn't find any civvies to wear.
