    This one is a run-by from 'Lawson's Last Stand' and is a country lane with a double chevron sign pointing both ways? Filming was around Batford (Lower Luton Road), Harpenden; North Mymms Park; and Aldenham House School, Butterfly Lane, Elstree for the country locations but I can't find any of the country lanes to match.











    From 'The Acorn Syndrome' a car run-by that should be in Elstree/Borehamwood (Barham Road was a main location) areas but once again I can't find this type of house around here:








    From 'Dead Reckoning' - this one should be easy as part of it was filmed along Chandos Avenue, Whetstone; but the shots below go past a series of shops past two side roads - one is blocked off and the other has a sharp turn going up hill. Sadly can't read the road sign.








    And in 'Slush Fund'; is this Heathrow Airport from 1979?

    'Slush fund', I think it may be Luton airport.

    A suggestion for 'blocked off road' is Welbeck road in East Barnet, very similar layout.

    A bit difficult to gauge the exact layout from a still but have you discounted Tollgate Road/Bullens Green Lane for Lawson? Deflection arrows in both directions there (including a double sided one) plus a farm entrance as well.

    Thanks 'Mark O'.....Wellback Road is indeed correct; the car is travelling along East Barnet Road (the other side road is Middle Lane). I'm trying to get my head around the airport one; Luton is a possible; need some old pics to match it up with as its all changed now. 'Mariocki'; good suggestion, and I've double checked here, and its not quite right - as you say, hard from a 'still' image to ask for help though on something like this.

    Quick update on these; found the Red Cortina which is in Pinewood Green; near Pinewood Studios .

    And after much investigation the Airport isn't Luton (must be Heathrow?), so still need that one and the 'Chevron' lane . Any further ideas are welcome.....

    I don't think it's Heathrow, could be Stansted, I've only been there the once but I recall a vast frontage, maybe an aerial view would give some direction

    Mark O - it is indeed the old terminal at Stansted - nice one, thanks..... Would never have believed it had it not been for so many matches....Heathrow was scheduled; but obviously something went wrong.
