Welcome to Ruislip Gardens. This is a guide to the Ruislip Gardens area.

The RAF website says: "One of the key airfields in the defence of London during the Battle of Britain, Northolt became the major airport for London in 1946, until the new site at Heathrow opened. Transport Command continued using Northolt after this, and the role of providing VIP air transport is the major task of the airfield today."

This Spitfire was a "gate guardian" at RAF Northolt. It has been positioned outside the Officers' Mess as part of the 1973 Battle of Britain celebrations.

The hangars in the distance housed 32 Squadron and 207 Squadron. As a point of interest it should be noted that the car park is not just devoid of vehicles because of the Spitfire but because of the high terrorist threat which existed throughout the Seventies.
