 RAF Waddington Airshow......3 & 4 july - Bromptonaut
Landing at the wrong airfield?

On first moving to Harrow c1980 I was puzzled by the massive letters 'NO' on a gasometer. There's another near Southall (this one still extant) with LH on it.

The latter was a landmark on approach to Heathrow's then runway 23. The other is close to RAF Northolt. Letters added to more clearly distinguish after a PanAm 707 ended up at Northolt. Northolt's runway is barely a mile long; a complete strp out of seats and minmal fuel for the hop to LHR meant it just got off the ground.
