Today, London Transport suggests we take in an air show! From 1908 through the 20s and 30s Hendon Aerodrome was the place to go, situated a few miles outside London's northwest city limit at the time (the area is well inside London's suburbs now). From World War Two onwards activity at the aerodrome declined and it was closed in 1968; however, the RAF museum still lives there, if these posters inspire a visit. Art Deco biplanes certainly tempt me...
