Karoshi Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Best get your cheque book out then; lots of miles to cover. The filming locations for The Eagle Has Landed were; Charlestown, Cornwall. (For Alderney) Mapledurham, Berkshire, England, UK (Studley Constable) and: Finland and I expect they've all changed since filming ceased in 1976. When you going?

Guest matt Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Oh hell,me and my big mouth :roll: if it still survives it's only the front end and some panels from the rear,they blew it up for the film so it's beyond restoration,the remains fit on a pallet. I can give you details if you REALLY want it! (if it's still there).is this blog #7? Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur.m Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello from Finland to everyone...the winter stuff of the film was shot here, I quess it was in Rovaniemi near the Arctic Circle. One of the steam locomotives used should be still around, so if somebody is interested... it' s 150 tons of steel, and it wasn't harmed during the filming. Actually the locos used were post-war Finnish and not pre-war German, but they never get these railway things right in film industry. If memory serves me right there was a German assault gun loaded on the train, that might well have been the real thing and not something made out of plywood. The Finnish army had quite a few Sturmgeschuetz tanks and some were still used (immobile) in airfield protection in 60's and 70's.
