Hendon Aerodrome...

Here is the classic scene from the original Dirty Dozen film with Lee Marvin and Donald Sutherland at the entrance to Hendon Aerodrome. This is now the roundabout at the top of Colindale Avenue where it meets Aerodrome Road. There is nothing left that is filmed from this scene except the houses in Booth Road. Aerodrome Road used to be a private MOD road up to the 70's with a gate at each end. This gate was shut on one day each year, Christmas Day. The road was always in a terrible condition full of pot holes until it was tarmaced over in the 70's. '
