July to December 2018 renewal of runway surface. Alleged Hurricane wreckage under the runway,no further detail. There is a change in the resurface work on the runway which will now take place from July to November/December. Fixed wing traffic will cease. Rotary aircraft (helicopters) will stay and may increase when moving VIP’s around. Whilst working on the runway they are improving the arrester bed at end of the beds. Really looking at strengthening the beds. Main work is strengthening the middle part of the runway where it is weakest. They believe there is a crashed WWII Hurricane which they will try to recovered and excavate but pressure to complete the runway ASAP.RAF Northolt | South Ruislip Residents Association
Could the buried Hurricane possible be one of those wartime legends. Like our ME 262 at Dowsnview? ME-262's in Canada Mystery
I visited there a couple of years ago and the Squadron Leader doing the tour told me about it, so we will wait and see
When I was at school fairly locally, a couple of my mates were plane spotters. We spent most of our time at Heathrow, but occasionally went to Northolt. They used to talk about this even then, which was the late 1970's.
