Apologies for my tardy review of this thread.
Squadron 303 were based at RAF Northolt, adjacent to the A40 between
the Polish War Memorial, (to all the Free Polish Forces), roundabout and Hillingdon Circus.
The Squadron used to celebrate successes, (and mourn losses) at The Orchard,
the biggest pub/restaurant in Ruislip,
(now a 'beefeater' style eatery with attached mini-hotel).
Just a couple of years ago, a model Spitfire was erected in the grounds to honour '303'.
Ruislip is part of the London Borough of Hillingdon,
comprising three Parliamentary constituencies,
Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner, Tory, Nick Hurd
Uxbridge & South Ruislip, Tory, Alexander dePfeffel,
Hayes & Harlington, Labour, John O'Donnell.
LB Hillingdon, as a whole voted 'Leave'!
