Story · RAF Museum

  • nl

You're standing at the Royal Air Force Museum in North London, in Colindale. Take a look around. All these houses and streets sit on what used to be a real airfield, Hendon Aerodrome. The museum has landscaped its grounds to give you a sense of what that airfield looked like, right in the middle of what's now a busy built-up area.
