History: 

The RAF still uses the airport, which means there are limited flight slots available per day for civilian private flights.

The base was a key London defense station during the battle of Britain in World War II, the first station to operate the Hurricane.

During the Battle of Britain, the airbase was home to a series of Allied and British Hurricane and Spitfire Squadrons, including a complete Polish Wing. After the war the airfield was used for Civil Aviation whilst Heathrow Airport was under construction in 1952.

Several James Bond films have been shot at RAF Northolt due to its location close to Pinewood Studios.
