RAF Museum Hendon

September 12, 2011 in General

We went to the RAF Museum in Hendon, North London this weekend, on, as it turned out, the weekend closest to an anniversary of the September 15th turning point in the Battle of Britain all those years ago. (Its address is Grahame Park Way, Hendon, North London NW9 5LL by the way.)
