1.4.10 | ![]() | Eddie makes enquiries at a holiday camp | This is now called Bywaves, Bracklesham Bay, between Portsmouth and Chichester | ||
1.4.20 1.4.30 | ![]() ![]() | Eddie says goodbye to Marion Cutler the social worker, at the railway station. | The sign in the background says the next train is going to Worle, Tiverton, Burnham on Sea and Exeter, but this is Chichester station - nowhere near the west country. | ||
1.4.40 | ![]() | Eddie visits one of the houses which was photographed from the air. This one belongs to Benny Sheldon. | This house is east of Bosham Hoe about 5 miles south west of Chichester. | ||
1.4.50 | ![]() | Eddie makes enquiries with a pilot at the local airfield who agrees to take him up. | This is Chichester/Goodwood airfield. The airfield now has a lot more buildings than are seen here. The plane that Eddie goes up in has the registration G-BEBZ and this was registered to the airfield as new in 1976, and it is still flying (as of March 2014, but with a different paint scheme) and it is now based at Exeter airport. | ||
1.4.55 | ![]() | Don and Benny Sheldon discuss Eddie on the golf course. | Location unknown. | ||
1.4.60 | ![]() | Eddie is told to meet up at a church – but it’s a trap. | This is the Church of St James, Church Lane, Birdham in West Sussex, about 5 miles south west of Chichester. | ||
1.4.70 | ![]() | Eddie decides that photographer Nick Forest must have seen something out to sea, so works out the location from the photograph. | These aerial views are of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight! The pier referred to as Ramshead pier is the Ventnor Pier which was removed in 1993. | ||
1.4.80 | ![]() | Eddie plots the probable location of the plane on a map giving him the “circle of uncertainty”. | According to his map the location seems to be off the coast of Ilfracmbe, which follows the West Country theme of the series. | ||
1.4.90 | ![]() | The view from the plane shown here agrees with Eddie's aerial photo so they must be in the right place. | This is off the coast of Ventnor, Isle of Wight again. | ||
1.4.100 | ![]() | The plane flies over the coast. | But this exterior shot of the plane shows it is flying over East Wittering near Chichester. | ||
1.4.110 | ![]() | Eddie arrives at the fort. The pilot told him that this was built in Napoleonic times in the Bristol Channel. | In real
life this one is Spitbank Fort near Portsmouth, one of several similar forts in the Solent. The photo below is a cropped version of a larger picture take by Mr eNIL. The full version is available on Wikipedia and Flickr. ![]() |
