Departing passengers

All passengers departing from RAF Northolt need to report to the RAF Check Point at the White House entrance to Northolt airfield. This is a separate entrance at the end of Wingfield way, off West End Road, which runs perpendicular to the A40. Wingfield Road is identifiable by a TOTAL petrol station on the corner of the road.
