But many an RAF pilot would fly to North Weald, then head off to the Smoke on the Central Line.
Up until the early sixties that could have been done from 4 x RAF airfields that had suitably close London Underground stations..... now only Northolt is left, with North Weald still there, but no longer a RAF base, and no longer having an Underground station nearby now either, plus RAF Hendon and Hornchurch being gone completely as airfields.
