Recorded this one today, and just watching this (again)!

Can't help thinking that the chase scene at the end would be the ultimate challenge for the Activity Wizards!

BTW: Does anyone know where it was filmed?

I believe a lot of it was at the now long gone Longmoor Military Camp, in the Petersfieldish area of Hampshre

The railway is long gone but the camp certainly isnt. My unit was there at Easter. I didnt see any traces of the railway tho but then on a march and shoot the last thing you think about is trains

incidentally one of the Austerities used in the film is preserved at the South Devon Railway. She carries the name "Errol Lonsdale"

It used to connect to the mainline at Bentley, you can still see the branchline there.
