Hayling reads the sign. However, this is Radlett station in Hertfordshire that also appears in 'The Password is Courage' and 'Johnny on the Spot' says Martin Snow which is confirmed by Roger Bartropp.
Antony Blair returned to see a few changes.

Barry Tayloy advises that the station is Radlett on the line out of St. Pancras. The railway station scene couldn't have been shot at Hayling as the station closed in the 60s.
Evidence of a previous era stands over Antony Clair's capture.

Timothy Phillips tells us "The camp is still there, changed a bit but the same basic layout. The pool is indoors now and the ballroom seems smaller than I remember - or probably I am bigger!!".

Have I been here before? Charles Regan says Ruislip Lido in Middlesex, which is confirmed by Roy Cadoux who asks us to take a look at this image elsewhere on the web http://www.ruisliponline.co.uk/images/Ruislip%20Lido%20Art%20Deco%20Building%20photo.jpg The lido also appears in 'Sky Bike' and 'The Young Ones'.
Antony Blair advises that this is the best shot to be had as its not possible to reach the water's edge. The buildings are lurking behind the trees.
