i used to live at raf northwood as a child. remember going to watford and radlett bovingdon etc.. on our bikes. c1961.

very sad to actually see bovingdon being used for car booting etc... c1990.
usaf bovingdon saw james stewart, clark gable and william holden serving there. glen miller was a visitor.
633 squadron and mosquito squadron were filmed there. also blakes 7 and the avengers.

i went to radlett to deliver some parts in about 1970. i saw some of the production areas. think they were building the Jetstream? then.
there were a few Victors parked up at the time.

all very sad now.
