Dist:0.2km north<br/>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.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>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."

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>I'd thought I'd be clever and mention about the Polish war memorial only known on travel news reports, but that's already happened. Ah well, so here's the 4th picture of it instead, :-).
