We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

  • Capture 1
  • 'Now' required

Just a couple of screen captures from the start of the film as passengers gather for the jet to New York. Heathrow Airport in the London Borough of Hillingdon. The location was used in 'The Alphabet Murders' and 'Carry On Cabby' amongst others.

Carol (Mai Zetterling) helps her husband Ernest Tilley (Richard Attenborough) out of the taxi when they arrive for the flight. To the top left is Heathrow Airport's old Control Tower, also seen in 'Three Hats for Lisa', 'A Matter of WHO' and 'Blind Date'. Norman Smith advises that the aircraft seen in the film is a Tupolov Tu 104 apparently with the registration G-AOYM which was a Vickers Viscount Turboprop operated at the time by B.E.A. The Tu 104 was never operated by any British Airline and in one of the take-off sequences you can see the Aeroflot logo on the side of the aircraft.
