Where the Bullets Fly

Before the credits roll, we are taken to the South Bank opposite the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.

I realise now that I should have been further East but wait until you see the crowds. (RL)

A large removal truck is guided towards the wall alongside the River Thames. River Walk, since renamed Queen's Walk, in SE1.

No room for a lorry. (RL)

Walking towards the truck are a group of seemingly innocent American tourists. Hungerford Bridge crosses the Thames in the background.

Rule number one, don't go at Half Term. (RL)

The back of the truck opens to reveal a missile aimed at The Houses of Parliament. The location is now occupied by the London Eye and features in several films including 'Saturday Night Out'.

Avoiding the London Eye, Peter took this shot from the up river Golden Jubilee Bridge.

The "innocent party" of American Tourists are heavily disguised British Agents, including Charles Vine (Tom Adams).

Spot the disguised British Agents. (RL)

Later in the movie we see Felicity 'Fiz' Moonlight (Dawn Addams) pull up outside a building with Charles Vine waiting outside.

Charles gets into Felicity's car.

Charles and Felicity drive off.

The camera moves to follow Charles and Felicity as they continue to leave the area.

Meanwhile in London, Seraph (Tim Barrett) walks towards the "Sunset Strip". 5 to 8 St. Anne's Court, London W1. (RL)

Seraph and Charles leave Headquarters.

Seraph and Charles having a conversation whilst heading for their car. Dave W brought Belvedere Road, London SE1 (rear of the old County Hall) to my attention. (RL)

The film camera location has now been built on, hence the less interesting foreground. (RL)

Charles in the driving seat is joined by Seraph. Clearly also Belvedere Road says Dave. (RL)

This part of what was County Hall is now a 'Premier Inn'. (RL)

Seraph in a car, pulls up to a gate. Catherine Wheel Road identified by Steve Cook.

Antony Blair found a lot of regeneration works going on so this may soon all be gone.

The gate is opened. Steve Cook identifies the location as Catherine Wheel Road, Brentford advising that 'The Brewery Tap' pub is still open for business. (RL)

Replacing Steve's Google Earth vies, Antony hopes that The Brewery Tap survives!

Having arrived at the same place, Charles begins to pursue Seraph, chasing him across a bridge over a lock. Brentford lock complex says Steve Cook. (RL)

The Bridge between Catherine Wheel Road and Johnsons Island, Brentford Lock/Dock area. The new bridge is now all at ground level with the steps removed. With thanks to Veronica at Brentford Lock for her interest, information, good company and for pointing me in the right direction. (RL)

Seraph steadily crosses a pair of lock gates. Brentford lock advises Steve. (RL)

Once the location had been established the other captures fell into place. Not exactly Brentford Lock, but Flood Gates very nearby. (RL)

Charles still in hot pursuit across the same lock gates . . . Another of Brentford lock

It is not now possible to get any further to the right. (RL)

. . . then across a bridge over this weir . . . Brentford Weir also located by Steve. (RL)

Replacing my "history" shot but it remains the only location from where a similar shot can be taken.. (RL)

. . . then over another bridge . . . Again thanks to Steve. (RL)

Replacing another of my 'in the can' shots but this is best available spot to replicate the scene now. (RL)

. . . running alongside a lock with Seraph hiding . . .

Brentford lock identified by Steve Cook. Replacing yet another of my shots but this time was gained access to the correct location. (RL)

. . . Seraph running out of places to go . . . Brentford lock complex, Steve Cook. (RL)

A should have shot this from a little further to left . . . . but I didn't! (RL)

. . . doubles back . . . Brentford lock complex, Steve Cook. (RL)

More or less correct from the limit of free access. (RL)

. . . still with Charles in pursuit armed and shooting at Seraph. Brentford lock complex, Steve Cook. (RL)

Now totally developed into accommodation. (RL)

Finally, Seraph disappears down a hole which Charles discovers before following. Brentford lock complex, Steve Cook. (RL)

From the best available shooting location. (RL)

Seraph emerges from a manhole amongst a Salvation Army Band. Antony Blair identifies this as Arlington Road in Twickenham with Howmic Court seen to the extreme left. The location is also seen in 'The Fiend' and 'Sebastian'.

And this is Antony's proof showing that same manhole while the house remains behind the trees.

A Russian Colonel (Tom Bowman) arrives to meet Seraph.

Charles arriving at a mortuary.

St. Margarets Road, Twickenham, from The Barons with Baronsfield Road in the background. A similar shot seen in 'The Ghost Camera'. (RL)

Back at Headquarters, Charles is seen leaving heading for a taxi.

Charles, mid-shot, walking towards Platform 5 & 6 at Waterloo Mainline Station, London.

Dave W provides this shot of the concourse as it is now from the top of the escalator where the news theatre used to be. (RL)

Charles having his ticket checked whilst entering the platform at Waterloo Mainline Station, London.

In deciding which arches to take Dave gives us the two keystone arches. Saying, that there's a number of arches in that area of the station but these two have the wider column seen in the capture shot from a ticket barrier. (RL)

Charles looking for a member of Platform staff. Glyn Horton advises that this is Staines West station, it closed to passenger trains in 1965 so probably had just become disused when filming took place. (RL)

Nick Boorman's shot confirms that the platforms have long since been replaced by housing but the arched window of the former station building can be seen in the background.

Charles arrives by train at the station to find Angel (Michael Ripper) armed and waiting. Staines West station in Surrey.

Nick Boorman found that a buffer stop has been positioned at the station's site to remind people that a terminus once stood here.

Top Brass arriving at the airfield.

Top brass entering the airfield. IMDB.com makes reference to RAF Biggin Hill being used for some movie scenes.

Charles arrives by Land Rover adjacent to a Spurium fitted Dakota.
