Being very interested in these two studios at the time of UFO I have posted a new album called UFO Studios on the SHADO yahoogroups website..

Your own map could certainly be drawn from these two aerial photos.

In the MGM Photo you will clearly see Rupert Square set from EXPOSED and RESPONSIBILITY SEAT in the centre on the backlot below the chateau from Dirty Dozen.Down to the left you can see the set from QUESTION OF PRIORITIES.

In the Pinewood photo J and K Stages (where UFO sets were located) are the two brick buildings in the centre.

The Baker Street set from PLOSH is at the top.This is where Straker was running in TIMELASH and where the he and Colonel Lake first stopped to see a nail suspended in time."Why doesn't it fall" she asks.

The military buildings were situated immediately left of J and K stages (as if you were walking out of the centre into the carpark).Not easy to see this in TIMELASH,better however in CWTL when Foster walks to his car prior to fighting with Regan.
