Excerpt: This list of RAF Stations is a list of all current
stations, airfields, and administrative headquarters of the Royal
Air Force. Note- current RAF Stations are listed under the
currently recognised counties of the United Kingdom, or overseas
countries. Notes Bibliography RAF Bentley Priory was a non-flying
Royal Air Force station near Stanmore in the London Borough of
Harrow. It was famous as the headquarters of Fighter Command during
the Battle of Britain and the Second World War. The RAF Bentley
Priory site includes a Grade II* listed Officers' Mess and
Italian Gardens. These, together with the park are designated a
Registered Garden Grade II. Originally built in 1766, Bentley
Priory was significantly extended in 1788, by Sir John Soane, for
John Hamilton, 1st Marquess of Abercorn. The priory was the final
home of the Dowager Queen Adelaide, queen consort of William IV,
before her death there in 1849. It subsequently served as a hotel
and girls' school before being acquired by the Royal Air Force
in 1926. The Royal Air Force station role ceased on 30 May 2008,
following the relocation of units to their new accommodation at RAF
Northolt and the site will be used for private accommodation and
the Officers' Mess will become a Battle of Britain museum.

the surrounding area were scantily...
