That aerial photo was taken over the former USAF/RAF base of Greenham Common, where those mobile cruise missile launchers used to be housed.

Whoever JJ uses for finding locations (and then negotiating their use for filming), think it's fair to say he's got a crack team. [EDIT: In Star Trek Into Darkness] the warp core reactor (the exterior of it anyway) is a real life laser fusion reactor, within Lawrence Livermore.

Edit: Might as well list another few examples (also from Star Trek Into Darkness).

Both interiors and exteriors of Star Fleet co are in fact the Getty Museum in Los Angeles [street View link]

Yeah, I'll never forget how NOT CLEARLY A BUDWEISER BREWERY the Enterprise engine room was in Star Trek 2009.

I cheated and looked up a list of Star Wars characters.

Is that cheating? In that case I've been cheating too, but only because I couldn't care less about all things Star Wars and only know names like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. And now, thanks to this thread, I also know there's someone called Mace Windu.
