I've got a partial copy of the one for December 1918 but not the pages covering hospitals, unfortunately. However, I note that while the January 1922 issue has the Central RAF Hospital at Finchley, the Central Medical Board was then at Holly Hill, Hampstead. So that suggests a medical connection; maybe the hospital and medical board were there initially and the hospital moved to Finchley later?

Their address "Central RAF Hospital, Hampstead". Does this make any sense to anyone; Finchley or Hamstead or neither?
