Hendon in NW London (now known as Colindale) was once synonymous with flying. The RAF Museum sits on a small portion of the 207-acre site that was The London Aerodrome. In the years before, during and immediately after the First World War, aviation pioneer and entrepreneur Claude Grahame-White and the London Aerodrome that he established were pivotal in early days of aviation in Britain.
