'Ethel' the Erard pedal harp getting an initial light clean for an assessment prior to potential restoration.

Over the years, many films & TV shows have been filmed near our HQ - the former RAF Upper Heyford air base in Oxfordshire. Last week a pre-production crew were in evidence, assembling equipment ready to start filming. Any ideas what they might be shooting here?
We had a flying visit from Upper Heyford history group. They were interested in one of the areas at the back of our buildings & our Hangars. They also kindly donated two items to add into our Display Showcase. #heritage#history#conservation#preservation
