'The Professionals' Locations Then & Now - Part 1

Something for 'hardcore' fans ;)
People who know me, are aware of my location interest.
I love London, I love Pros, so this combination is unbeatable.
Unfortunately the quality sucks, if you want to have a look at the pics, please go and visit http://pros-locations.livejournal.com/

Very good videos here. I'm surprised in the Close Quarters section you missed the boat yard at Maidenhead. This was my favourite episode and I went there in 1982 to photograph the boatyard (Bushnells of Maidenhead) and the pub where bodie trys to phone Cowley which is the nags head at Great Missenden. PM me if you'd like me to scan the film trannies!

@airscrew1 Thank you :)

I would have loved to see the boatyard (although I was told it changed a lot there by now). As I'm from Germany I had to rely on a friend who organised the tour. But then, we managed actually a lot of locations, you can't have it all in one day, lol.

I'll send you a pm, I would be very interested in seeing the pics :D

its absolutely astounding how even some of the most minute details haven't changed on some of the locations i.e the buzzer panel outside the door from the female factor and the sign in the alley from rogue

Everytime I visit a new location I wonder, if there's still something to recognise. Fortunately, most of the time it is :)

For someone from the other side of the world, these are so amazing. It's almost like B&D should have been in your shots as well. thanks for sharing this it's wonderful.

You're more than welcome, Jaicen :D

I'm glad, you enjoyed the vid.

Heh, now that would have been great to have B&D by my side for the now pics. But then, they were in my mind when I took the pics ;)

great idea. Some of the places have not changed at all.

A really great nostalgic video. How can I find the locations? 5 *

I'm a Pro's nut too and live close to Pinewood Studios.

You are absolutely brilliant!! Beautifully put together and the song is perfect.

Fantastic idea. ::hugs::

It's amazing, how many places you can still recognise. Although a lot is already gone, times are changing.

So I'm absolutely glad I could do the location trips while some of the places are still like in the 70's/80's.

Thanks for your nice comment.
