'Exciting possibilities'

Line producer Vaughan Watkins said: "We are very much looking forward to coming to the former RAF base. The possibilities for our filming are very exciting, with many new locations."
Bev Spratt, chair of the county council's economic development sub committee, said: "The former Jaguar Simulator building lends itself brilliantly for film and TV production use.

"From the time we acquired the site we have had interest from film-makers."
