If you land at Heathrow, you are already at the site of the very historic "Biggin Hill" airbase from WW2 where true legends Douglas Bader and Johnny E Johnson flew from.
Seek out the Sherlock Holmes museum of 221b Baker Street. (I mean, as long as you are gonna be there...)
Your incorrect on all counts.
Heathrow is not Biggin Hill. Heathrow is west London while Biggin Hill is NW Kent, distance 40 or 50 miles away. It might have been attached to Biggin during the Battle of Britain but I think this is doubt full as it was attached to nearby Northolt.
Bader might well have used Heathrow but he was never based there. During BofB but he was based at Duxford (see pic I post earlier) in charge of the big wing.
For Johnston, he was based at Tangmere during the BofB, this time in W Sussex close to the south coast. Late war Bader was also based here.
Your more than welcome.
