WHERE WAS THE PRISONER |
The most likely location used for the
opening shots in The Prisoner is Bovingdon airfield, west of Watford, Hertfordshire. The series was produced at Borehamwood and other contenders were Elstree Aerodrome, Hatfield Aerodrome and Radlett airfield. The below image is at: www.dacorumheritage.org.uk/ww2-bovingdon.htm. See also discussion here. Other submissions were the test track at the Norfolk Lotus factory, Hethel, or M1 motorway. Also, Santa Pod raceway has been put forward, but at 60 miles away, is less likely than Bovingdon, where filming regularly took place 20 miles away. Thanks to past Six of One member Simon Rutherford.
