Pleased to say that wartime structures in the East Camp (Air Ministry pattern pillbox; e-pens; dispersal hut; surface sleeping shelter) will be open for guided tours on Sun 23 September as part of the Open House London weekend. Enter the airport via the roundabout (don't go to the terminal) and follow the green signs - tours are scheduled for 10.30; 11.30; 1.00; 2.00; 3.00; and 4.00pm and entry is free!

Just in case anyone was put off by the Airport's Family Open day last year this is nothing to do with that - event is run by the Scout Aviation Centre and has run most years since 2002. Fingers crossed we hope to have one or two historic aircraft on display as well as other 1940s material.
