Multiple techniques were used to film the plane crash. A Trident class static aircraft G-AVFM owned by Brunel University (formerly owned by British Airways) was used for the close up shots which was based at Bristol Airport. A fake embankment was built around the nose and a bridge added to make it appear as if it had crashed into the bank. The aircraft was not allowed to be damaged during filming. The cabin of a Trident class aircraft at RAF Wroughton was used for the interior scenes. A flight simulator at Gatwick was used for the cockpit scenes. Filming took place inside a light aircraft landing at Bristol Airport to show images seen from the cockpit when the plane is trying to land. A scale model of the aircraft was used to show the landing and the moment the crash happens.
