I thought that the stunt scene was actually filmed at RAF Wittering?

A friend asked me if I wanted to visit her in the ATC Tower - but I declined (not realizing the filming was going on)...

Is that hangar in the link really at Brize or is it just a generic photo? I can't make out what the civvy looking aircraft are in the background?
