Emergency Attendance
The London Air Ambulance attends and emergency on Brendon Grove. This particular helicopter, a McDonnell-Douglas MD902 Explorer was in service with the Surrey Air Ambulance. The London Air Ambulance service has been fund raising for a second helicopter to join their regular MD902 G-EHMS. So whether this is a temporary loan or a permanent deployment remains to be seen.

Cold and Frosty Morning
View of the housing estate built on the site of Simms factory. The block of flats on the left are on a part of Brendan Grove, whilst the houses behind the fenced play area are on Taunton Drive. Swings and slide have been removed from the play area. The landscaped grass in the foreground was the site of Oak Lodge - once a manor house and in its last years, a school for special needs children.

Factory Gates
A pavement crossing marks the site of the Lucas CAV factory's New Oak Road entrance. Simms' factory opened on this site in 1926 utilising a victorian mansion and its grounds. A successful business, supplying motor parts, it expanded to fill the whole of the six acre site. In 1968 the company was taken over by Lucas CAV. With the UK motor business losing market share, the factory was gradually run down and finally closed in 1991. At one time it was Finchley's largest employer. I used to meet my father here at the end of his shift. It is now a housing estate
