Airport Mystery

To state the obvious – you’ll find lots of Heston stuff on this forum using the search tool – including the catalogue of the last few off-the-ration flights at Heston. And also my still unsolved puzzle under “Heston Airport Mystery” which ceased to get any replies after January this year…

Dear Mike, Thank you. had a peek at your thread but suffering a bit of info overload at the mo with all the stuff i have yet to go thru on my thread, and i’m still a working boy to boot! yes heston was lovely then and i knew some springwell schoolmates in orchard avenue.

I think you lived in the 1950s built houses which replaced the derelict house I thought for a long time was the one hit by the Mustang…did your father work in movies?

yes yes yes he did. who the**** are you and do we owe you money!!!

Especially Google Earth, now that you can roll back to 1945.
There was a good website on Heston, including the distinct hangar and the large model building company that was based there, darned if I can find it at the mo.

Thank you so much. Installed google earth and found me way to the 1945 map. This is exactly the type of thing I wanted and I will have a good study of in time. Initial quick look was that the runway(s) path (s) not too identifiable but what did I expect -tarmac!!!!
