Charles Wellington of RAF Hendon
Spitfire-pilot Charles Wellington was based at RAF Hendon during World War II (1941-1946). He was a pilot in the in 1946 display. Wellington progressed from a serviceman to his final status as a local legend. During life, Wellington was not so special, but after death his stature grew, fostered by scary children bedtime stories, official haunting, poltergeists sightings, unexplained flying objects, gossip, local history and Hendon memorabilia. But what really launched his posthumous career was Reginald Deadwood’s tale for an unexplained inferno on a new development built on the site of RAF Hendon’s runway in 2006. []

For years, Reginald recalls been taken along to the non-listed RAF runway on Aerodrome Road, where the local school children were being disturbed by what they said was the ‘roar of aircraft engines and a ghost of a pilot’ His appearances were becoming more frequent and were being experienced by more and more people. After his encounter with the phantom of a pilot, he became fascinated by ghosts, spirits and things that roar in the night. All of the children’s accounts were practically identical: around four o’clock in the afternoon a pilot was seen wearing an old fashioned sheep skin flying jacket. Everyone agreed that he would appear to float in the air for a few seconds and then vanish into thin air. Reginald suspected psychic history in this area. The name Charles Wellington came into his head and he noted details of his life for further investigation. Wellington was disappointed that the war had came to an end. In appeared to Reginald that this was just a memory of someone’s life trapped in time and that it might be seen again. Initially, Reginald thought that Wellington could not interact with this world as it was only a visual phenomenon. For months in 2006, Reginald dreamt of a pilot climbing into a spitfire plane and flying into ball of fire. He was astonished to hear about the new development burning down on the very spot where the phenomenon appeared. After the death of his dog, Reginald Deadwood is currently writing a novel based on his further investigation into Wellington’s extra originally Life. Some [the residents of Grahame Park Estate] say that ‘the new development in Aerodrome Road is cursed. The great fire of 2006 was a sign that the spirits were not happy.’ For years, the student of St Mary CE High School (Hendon) have talked about the old site of RAF Hendon (old site) has been haunted, which has been dismissed by teachers as ‘nonsense.’ Mr Grant stated ‘Children claim to have seen images of human figures, aircraft, bright lights and so on.’ Families have been frightened by the usual behaviour on the old site, flying aircraft that would appear to take off into the air for a few seconds and then vanish into thin air.
