Present and prior series were filmed at Dunsfold. TG have put in a planning application at Enstone airfield, Oxon with a view to moving base there.

Had a good view of it the other day on long finals to LGW 08 Right.

Wouldnt be surprised if Clarkson spearheaded a move. Im sure he “loves” commuting to the studio in a Vauxhall Omega!

The current Top Gear base remains Dunsfold for the moment, although there have been rumours of a move to a location in Oxfordshire – no doubt closer to home for Mr. Clarkson!
The studio sequences are shot in one of the former Harrier assembly hangars and ‘the Stig’ does his stuff on a track made up of the main runway, taxiways and peri track.
The test track is also used regularly by McLaren cars too, for giving demonstration rides to prospective Mercedes SLR supercar customers!

Definitely Dunsfold as far as I know.

Somone talked about Dunsfold as being their previous home but had now moved? Also after a 747 being retired to Dunsfold recently, it might fit the story?
I’m sure someone has the definite answer though.

Prestwick was where they shot 747 which was a Virgin Atlantic 747.
The track closed down aerodrome was mentioned before on here?
