Hi-Jackers, The

Carrying a cargo of whisky on the back of his Albion flatbed lorry, Terry McKinley pulls into a transport café. Looking from the Lupin Café's car park onto the A30 London Road to the south-west of Bagshot in Surrey.

David O'Donogue revisited the site to find the main road just as busy.

Terry McKinley (Anthony Booth) enters the café where he sees Shirley, who he later gives a lift towards London. The Lupin Café near Bagshot, Surrey. The café closed in 1973 and the site is now occupied by Lupin Close.

After Terry is hi-jacked on a quiet stretch of road, Sam Reynolds brings the lorry into the abandoned farm that Jack Carter's gang have made their hideout. Greg Chapman tells us that this is Dromenagh Farm on Seven Hills Road, Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire. Kevin Snelgrove points out that the farm can also be seen in 'Carry On Camping'.

It was not possible for Mark Jacobs to get the exact angle, not least he tells us that the old entrance has been blocked off and the gate is now about 200 yards before the building, but this is Seven Hills Road. (RL)

Gang leader Jack Carter (Derek Francis) pays Sam Reynolds (Tommy Eytle) and Smithy (Tony Wager) after unloading the whisky.

Leaving Inspector Grayson after giving statements, Terry and Shirley (Jacqueline Ellis) go to the station to continue their journey to London. Southall station in Southall, Middlesex.

Remarkably intact. (PW)

Terry massages his painful shoulder as Shirley tells him that she always brings bad luck. Southall station on South Road.

Looking towards London on Platforms 2 and 3. (PW)

A train speeds through as Terry tells Shirley that she can stay at his flat until she finds somewhere to live. Facing west from Southall station.

Changes are more apparent in this shot. (PW)

Terry's co-driver Jim Brady (Ronald Hines) phones Carter when he learns that Shirley may be able to identify the gang leader.

At Wormwood Scrubs, Shirley visits her ex husband Tim who tells her the name of the gang's leader and where they are hiding. HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs on Du Cane Road, London W12. The prison has been seen in many films including 'Morgan, a Suitable Case for Treatment', 'Seven Green Bottles', 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square', 'Black Orchid', 'The Horse's Mouth', 'Three Sundays to Live', 'Hot Millions' and 'The Italian Job'.

That door isn't often open. SJ

Shirley makes her way to Carter's address in the film's Palace Road, Hampstead. Phil Richards has found that in 'real life' this is St Peter's Road, Twickenham and Shirley is making her way to what is now No 26. (RL)

The house at No 26 has been replaced. Here we see the new entrance added to the existing wall. (SR)

The young woman pauses before entering the property. Simon Davies points out that the name on the gate is Dunrobin, which may be a clue or a prop. We cannot answer whether it was a clue or a prop but the gates do lead to what is now No 26. (RL)

The new entrance to No 26. The house was rebuilt in 2008, and Google Street View images of the time show the old gateposts outside the flattened plot. (SR)

Entering the garden, Shirley makes her way to a rear window through which she sees Carter and Pete. What was perhaps No 26 St Peter's Road, Twickenham, certainly is now, but substantially re-developed, as a comparative shot will show. Maybe Phil will get there soon. (RL)

Two semi-detached houses now stand on the plot, one with its entrance around the corner in The Avenue. (SR)

Suspecting that his co-driver is involved with the gang, Terry drives to the yard to find Jim. South Street in Isleworth, Middlesex with Upper Square to the right.

It still presents a very calm scene. (RL)

The shot follows Terry. Upper Square seen from the junction of South Street and Richmond Road. The location was seen in 'The Sicilians', 'Touch of Death' and 'Echoes of Diana'.

Another branch bank long gone. (RL)

The camera continues to pan right and Lion Wharf comes into view.

Richard Marum provides this shot showing the edge of the re-development.

Terry turns into the yard. The since redeveloped Lion Wharf on, what has now been named, Lion Wharf Road.

A wider shot from Richard as it is very difficult to relate the old buildings and entrance to the re-developed wharf.

Getting out of his car, Terry confronts Jim. Looking from Lion Wharf, Isleworth onto the corner of South Street and Richmond Road with the Castle Inn's sign and houses on Magdala Road in the background.

This shot can now only be taken from the pavement. (RL)

Carrying a high value cargo of cosmetics, Scouse drives his articulated lorry along a deserted road. David Hizzey advises that this is Burma Road on Chobham Common in Surrey adding that the building in the background was part of the Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (FVRDE), known locally as the Tank Factory.

Forbes (Michael Beint) and Smithy bring Scouse's lorry to a halt. Burma Road on Chobham Common located by David Hizzey who explains that the road leads to Longcross station and the entrance of Longcross Studios and can also be seen in 1971's 'Dad's Army'.

Following the hi-jack, Carter arrives at the farm ahead of Scouse's lorry. Dromenagh Farm in Iver Heath identified by Greg Chapman.

As the gang begins to unload the lorry, the police arrive. Dromenagh Farm recognised by Greg. The location was also seen in 'Regan' and 'Carry On Camping' as well as Gerry Anderson's 'UFO' TV series.

Terry climbs down from the top of Scouse's lorry as Bluey (Glynn Edwards) is taken away. Greg Chapman advises that Dromenagh Farm has since been demolished and replaced by a house.

The abandoned farm becomes quiet as a single police officer is left in charge of the scene. Dromenagh Farm, Seven Hills Road in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire located by Greg Chapman.

Once again Mark could not get the correct angle but this shot from Seven Hills Road has, he says, all the signs that the original building was retained, the roof of the left and right wings being stripped and raised and the chimneys moved from the main center gable. (RL)
