SFX footage from the World Backgrounds library. The library contains many alternative takes and longer shots (sometimes including clapperboards). A few examples have appeared on the Network DVDs bonus disc, but many have never been seen. Episode shots are outlined in red, all other shots from the library.
Slate 7 take 1, scene 42, filmed 22 October 1976. The Eagle enters the orange mist. The shot is filmed at an angle- the wooden floor boards are visible. As the Eagle passes to the left of the frame, the control bars from which the Eagle hangs can be seen at the top left. The version of this seen on screen has a lot more mist. 20 seconds before the Eagle enters frame, it passes across in 6 seconds, after 7 more seconds it finishes.
