    RAF Biggin Hill & More Freedom in London


    The Royal Air Force fighter station at Biggin Hill, just on the southern outskirts of London was in the front line during World War II but is no longer an operational station.

    Though the RAF still run an Air Training Corps squadron here for today's youth. This was my first visit to Biggin Hill since I attended an Air Training Corps camp here in 1968. Private planes also still fly from here.

    The Garden of Remembrance, with a full size model Spitfire in the background.

    The Chapel of Remembrance. Roman Catholic services are held here on Saturday evenings and Episcopalian services on Sunday mornings. So lets go inside and take a closer look.

    A bonny chapel, with pews where I spent a few minutes in quiet prayer and contemplation.
