Re: Cloudbusting

For those that are interested, the Cloudbusting video outside scenes
were shot in the Vale of the White Horse just outside Swindon, not far
from Bristol, England. I haven't ascertained this offically but on a visit 
there several years ago, there was a stunning familiarity about the 
place. Checking the video when I got home verified my hunch.

For those that get a chance to visit this place it's quite obvious 
they made a good job of hiding Swindon in the background. The hillock
on which the Cloudbuster is filmed is actually the corner of a raised
dyke that surrounded an old castle (now gone), or something like that.

FYI, the Vale of the White Horse is the place where an ancient (and 
humongous) highly stylised white horse has been etched out of the 
surface of the chalk hill and is visible for miles around. Well worth
a visit.
