The aircraft from which the photograph is being taken seems to have caught the interest of this chap. He appears to be in uniform. What is he? An airman or a uniformed gatekeeper from one of the nearby factories? |

This building is currently part of the Metropolitan Police estate on the Peel Centre (Hendon Police College) site. It is known as Building No 36. As part of the training centre redevelopment, it had been planned to demolish this building, as it is not listed. Thankfully, owing to considerable public indignation expressed during the consultation meetings, the Met were forced to review this decision. Building 36 will now be incorporated within the new development, albeit within an unsympathetic physical context. |

The first episode of the BBC Channel 4 programme "Brick By Brick: Rebuilding Our Past" was about moving the building from one side of the RAF Hendon site over to near the RAF Museum in order to make way for the housing development on the site. It is currently available on the BBC iPlayer at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01flvwz/brick-by-brick-rebuilding-our-past-episode-1 It of course mentioned Claude Grahame-White, but I didn't spot any mention of Aerofilms as a company name. |

So here is a real surprise, from my most recent visit to RAF Museum Hendon. Aerofilms Ltd's first proper office, into which the firm moved having used a bedroom suite at Claude Grahame-White's London Country Club! Instead of coming to the museum via Edgware Road/Colindale Avenue on the 142 bus and foot, I was in a car which was driven along Aerodrome Road. I couldn't quite believe what I saw, and came out for a closer look as soon as I had a spare moment from the day's activities. I had thought this building long gone, under the Metropolitan Police College campus, because its footprint is no longer outlined on the modern OS map. I guess it must have been incorporated into the larger structure(s) on the site. This area is being redeveloped. It's currently a building site, but it looks like this long building with its mansard roof is being kept. |
