A Filming Location
The airport offers a range of aviation and non-aviation settings with large hangars to accommodate grand scale indoor filming. Bankstown is home the majority of Sydney's executive jets and helicopters, as well as the Australian Aviation Museum which showcases a range vintage aircraft. The site at Bankstown covers over 300 hectares with significant stretches of runways, tarmac, as well as wide and open spaces.
One of its hangars is being used for the filming of Top Gear Australia, however none of the track sections were filmed at Bankstown as it is too busy. They were predominantly filmed at nearby Camden Airport which is far quieter.
