Thanks Marc (and Rob). Fanderson has verified as well that these are
two different hotels. What is now known as "The Elstree Moat Hotel" was
the "Thatched Barn Hotel". I'm off to review the maps..
Thanks again.

Paul, Charlie and I had the pleasure of meeting Marc as well (at the
Fanderson Convention in Coventry 2000). I am just kidding with him
because sometimes we (group members) expect him to know everything or
find it out. I don't think I've ever caught him making a mistake but
I'll keep checking ;-).

Neptune House (Harlington-Straker Film Studios)

Griff
Hi All,

If you are using Google Earth, you can see Neptune House (Harlington-Straker
Film Studios) by entering:

Latitude: 51 39 35 22 North
Longitude: 0 16 28 37 West

Zoom right in, and there it is :)

Best to all

Griff

One interesting thing about this -- this means that
when Straker and his son were driving around in that
Model-T, they were driving around on the western
set from the "Living in Harmony" episode of
THE PRISONER!

Also, that set is clearly visible from the
aerial shot of MGM, on the upper left corner
of the picture:

Indeed it is!

Now, can someone provide the coordinates to that tree from
A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES? :-)

Talking of locations does anyone know if Windermere Court still
survives to day and where it is?

Teresa, do you think that this satellite photo is of
the tree?

Hi all,

Following up, after looking at Microsoft's "Bird's Eye" view
of this location, I've determined that this is indeed the
same tree that's on the ISOSHADO page.

If you go to the following site, click on Bird's Eye view,
click the rotate icon a couple times, and you'll have virtually
the same angle on the tree as it on the ISOSHADO website:

Straker would have loved all this technology :) ...mind you he would
have demanded real-time :)

Scroll down to "Q9":

Windermere Hall, Stonegrove, Edgware HA8 7SZ.

According to the satellite photo, it is here:

Quiet! Don't tell anybody! All of this technology was developed for
SHADO at Straker's command, they are just now releasing it to the
public!
