	RAF Northolt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RAF Northolt (IATA: NHT, ICAO: EGWU) is a Royal Air Force station in west London in the London Borough of Hillingdon which also handles a large number of civilian flights.
		After some 30 years of protracted consideration, an Instrument Landing System was eventually fitted to runway 25 and aggregate-filled safety pits were installed at either end of that runway to protect road users in the event of another bizjet or military transport failing to stop or ascend before the runway's end.
		The aerodrome is closer to Ruislip than to Northolt, but when it was founded the area was known as Northolt.
