Northolt: RAF's celebrated airfield 'may be sold to property developers' - Telegraph

RAF Northolt, the Air Forces’ oldest operational base, could be sold for hundreds of millions of pounds to property developers keen to build on a prime piece of north London land.

High-level talks in Whitehall are also believed to have discussed using the site as a satellite airfield for Heathrow, located about four miles away, The Guardian reported.

The future of Northolt, which occupies hundreds of acres in Hillingdon, near the M25, is part of a wider review of the defence estate as the MoD battles swingeing budget cuts.
