Something wasn't quite right about the location of my previous
post. The location of Leavesden Studios was marked as such
because 13 users of Google Earth had designated it as such.
However, using the video from BBC, I search that area for
something that looked more like the studio in the video,
and I found it.
Here is the real Leavesden Studios, and it is so marked by
Google as both the -
de Havilland/Rolls-Royce production site
which it originally was, and is also marked as Leavesden
Studios.
The NEW coordinates are -
51deg 41' 36.00" N
00deg 25' 10.98" W
This location is nearly straight north of the previous location
and it is possible that both buildings belong to the Studio.
One significant feature of this new location is that it has
it's own airplane run way, and that makes it easy to spot.
Note, the airfield is there because Rolls-Royce made airplane
engines.
If you look closely at the BBC video, you can see the airfield.
Between the landing strip and the main building is the Burrow.
Sadly, Google Earth is not sufficiently updated to show any of
this new construction. Still, it was nice to see the studio
from the air.
Again...for what it's worth.
