Testimonials

"After filming at Bovingdon Airfield for two Series of ‘Britannia’ for SKY I can heartily recommend a facility that is well set up for Film & Television projects, especially with its clear skies and good width of horizon. All within range of London and with access to excellent transport links and many great locations in the area. The addition of more stages is a very welcome development, and the additional availability of outside build space makes the Airfield a very strong competitor to other facilities where backlot space can be in short supply."
