	Croydon Airport
		Beddington Aerodrome, one of a number of small airfields around London which had been created for protection against the Zeppelin raids of the time in 1915, and Waddon Aerodrome, attached in 1918 as a test-flight aerodrome to National Aircraft Factory No1[?].
		The terminal building, the booking hall within it with its gallery balustrated in the sharp design typical of the period, as well as the Aerodrome hotel, all were built in the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s.
		The aerodrome was known the world over, its fame being spread by the many aviators and pioneers who touched down at Croydon.

	RAF_Northolt Information - Online Prescription Medication Directory
		RAF Northolt (IATA: NHT, ICAO: EGWU) is a Royal Air Force station in the London Borough of Hillingdon, in North West Greater London, England.
		RAF Northolt is not named after the town of Northolt, it is situated in neighbouring Ruislip; most early RAF airfields were named after the nearest railway station, in this case Northolt Junction (now South Ruislip).
		After some 30 years of protracted consideration, an ILS was eventually fitted to Northolt's runway 25, and aggregate-filled safety pits were installed at each end of that runway to protect road users in the event of another bizjet's or military transport's failure to stop or ascend before the runway's end.

	Case Transcript: Ashworth - Denham Aerodrome
		The maximum height of the aircraft is 225 metres due to the proximity of Northolt aerodrome.
		Where an aerodrome has been designated under Section 35 (1), the management of the aerodrome is required to consult organisations representing the interests of local people (amongst others) “with respect to any matter concerning the management or administration of the aerodrome which affects their interest...”.
		In particular, Denham aerodrome has been designated under Section 35 of the 1982 Act, the consequence of which is to impose on the management of the aerodrome an obligation to consult organisations representing the interests of local people with respect to any matter concerning the management or administration of the aerodrome which affects their interests.

	Airspace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Northolt Aerodrome is approximately 5 miles SE of Denham.
		Circuits are flown to the north of the aerodrome because it avoids a conflict with air traffic using Northolt, it takes Denham traffic away from Heathrow, it permits arriving and departing traffic to fit into the pattern easily and safely, and because there is less residential development.
		This is marginally lower than some aerodromes, but enables aircraft to fly a smaller circuit than if they had to climb higher.

	Heathrow Third Runway - Northolt Aerodrome
		Any proposed expansion of Northolt Aerodrome would be unacceptable, as it would increase exposure of residents to aircraft and road noise and intrusion as well as additional air pollution and safety risks.
		The fact that the aerodrome is located in an air quality ‘hotspot’ should weigh heavily against any further expansion or intensification of Northolt Aerodrome.
		Whether ultimate closure of Northolt is a realistic prospect will principally depend on the needs of local airspace capacity to serve Heathrow or any operational decisions by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

	House of Commons - Transport - Sixth Report
		In 1998, a predecessor committee recommended that the use of Northolt and Redhill as feeder airports for Heathrow and Gatwick should be seriously considered.
		The development of Northolt aerodrome, as a potential reliever airport for Heathrow, was proposed by our predecessor Committee in its 1998 report on Regional Air Services as a means of providing a rapid availability of additional runway capacity to serve the United Kingdom's premier network airport.
		The Department has acknowledged that a third runway at Heathrow would also mean Northolt had to be closed due to conflicting air traffic patterns.[264] If Northolt is closed, there will be a large, redundant airfield 6 miles from Heathrow.

		The famous No 303 (Kosciuszko) Polish Squadron formed at Northolt on August 17 1940, and was the first Polish Squadron to operate from the station, instigating Northolt's close association with the gallant airmen who played such an outstanding part in fighter command activities throughout the war.
		During September 1940 Northolt's multi-national pilots destroyed 95 enemy aircraft; 303 squadron was the highest scoring fighter squadron during the Battle of Britain.
		Northolt has continued to the present date in a VIP and communications role performed since 1995 by Number 32 (The Royal) Squadron, whose theatre of operations is worldwide in peacetime and war.

	September 15th 1940 (Afternoon)
		More and more squadrons were moving into areas to cut off any retreat so that when they did decide to abort, trying to get into the protection of the cloud cover would be their only hope of survival.
		I was climbing over Northolt to watch the Northolt Wing in action, and saw approximately five miles S.W. and west of base, streamers from very high enemy fighters.
		It is believed that one of the Hurricanes of 1 RCAF Squadron followed von Wedel down, the veteran not being able to out maneuver the Hurricane, was hit and his Bf 109 had lost its controls.

		Every Fighter Command aerodrome in 11 Group was in some way involved, every squadron within 11 Group participated as well as the Duxford Wing from 12 Group and a number of squadrons in 10 Group were called upon to protect areas in the south west.
		As mentioned previously, Fighter Command was now stronger than it had been for weeks, aerodromes repaired, planes and personnel had replaced many that had been shot down and the radar stations were all functioning at 100%.
		He had learnt just a few days previous that there was to be a large scale attack prior to the impending invasion, only that he was unsure as to the exact date or time.

		Northolt aerodrome was a RAF fighter base only about a mile or so away.
		I lived in Kingshill Avenue and we always knew when the siren was to be sounded as a squadron of Hurricane fighters would take off from Northolt aerodrome and fly low over our house.
		The siren was on the top of the police station at Hayes End and the Gram’s factory hooter would also sound.

	Ruislip Lido History
		Exiting the reservoir in an underground pipe to the "west" the channel passes, generally, under Bury Street, under Ladygate Lane and on towards Tile Kiln Lane, whereupon the route is less clear until it surfaces again in Austins Lane, Ickenham.
		From here it runs into the fields adjacent to Northolt aerodrome and then under the A40 almost in parallel with the Yeading Brook (having already, at some point "crossed" the River Pinn).
		Once under the A40 it entered the waste land opposite Northolt Aerodrome, again with the Yeading Brook for company, before making its way to Yeading and then on down to Hayes, entering the canal at Hayes Bridge.

		The problem of accurate sighting for aerial gunnery had been known from the first world war.
		The Northolt team sought to understand the problem and find ways of improving pilot's accuracy.
		Bennet Melville Jones (later Sir Melville Jones), professor of aeronautical engineering at Cambridge University, was interested in the Northolt work, and Maurice was sent to Cambridge to explain to him what was being done.

		In 1935, Maurice Hancock, who has died aged 95, went to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough as a young scientific officer.
		In 1937, he was sent to Northolt aerodrome in Middlesex to work on the gunnery problems of the new Supermarine Spitfire.
		Maurice also told Jones of an idea he had to make a new sort of gunsight using a gyroscope to overcome some of the problems.

		On top of this, RAF Bomber Command had been continually bombing ports from Calais to Boulogne and along the Dutch coast destroying many of the barges that were to be used in "Operation Sealion".
		RAF Fighter Command was now known to Luftwaffe Intelligence that it had not been defeated and that most aerodromes were on standby.
		It had been estimated that over 300 enemy aircraft in two separate formations and both covered by their Bf109 escorts flying at higher altitude had crossed the coast between Deal and Foreness then turned 45 degrees over the Thames Estuary and followed the usual pattern of using the River Thames as their flight path.

		I informed dear Anthony that I was very concerned about the regular secret flights into Northolt Aerodrome of unmarked transport planes, carrying highly unstable nuclear waste from the reprocessing plant at Sellafield.
		We agreed a code name or "Mr X" and over the course of the next few weeks we spoke on a number of occasions, during which I escalated the story to a ridiculous level.
		I could feel the excitement in his voice when I dropped my final bombshell - the next flight into Northolt would coincide with a time when the Queen was scheduled to fly out.
