RAF Henlow
RAF Henlow is a Royal Air Force station near Luton.
It houses the Centre of Aviation Medicine and the RAF Signals museum.
Henlow was chosen as a military aircraft repair depot in 1917. The Officers Engineering School moved there in 1927. During World War II Henlow was used as a repair base. Hawker Hurricane fighters were dismantled there to be shipped to Malta. After the war Henlow became the RAF Signals Engineering Establishment, but was reduced to a Radio Engineering Unit in 1980. In 1983 the Land Registry took over part of the site.
Administratively RAF Henlow is now part of a combined base, RAF Brampton Wyton Henlow.
