Re: Great film today
In the Dr Strangelove airfield scenes were done at RAF Sculthorpe, the base is derelict now but the runways are used by the USAF for their
Duties.
Full Metal Jacket baracks scenes were done at the former RAF Bassingbourne, now Bassingbourne Barracks. the scenes in vietnam were done at Docklands in london,
Hope that helps
