Many of the scenes in the original movie were shot at several air bases in East Anglia, and the church featured during the opening segment of the original movie is not the church at Royston, a small village at the south end of the Bassingbourn airfield. Rather the church is one from just outside Alconbury, another American air base - the 482nd BG. Many 91 BG(H) vets have watched the movie and wondered where the steeple is on the church at Royston. Wylder used 100+ cameras in the making of the film, and several scenes in the movie, especially the scenes showing the take-off for Wilhelmshaven, were not filmed at Bassingbourn.
