Heston
Two-to-four-storey concrete slabs in and other incongruously furry roads.
Clubhouse and control tower were completed in 1929 to the design of L. M. Austin and H. F. Murrell. They were not particularly distinguished in appearance apart from the control room with its projecting balcony, which resembled the bridge of a ship. This building was demolished in 1978. Herbert
Hangar. This hangar was one of two built for Heston by A. Jackamann in 1929. One contained the BEA school and taxi-machines. The other was the 'lock-up' hangar for privately owned planes. Its aerodynamic shape was dictated by the need for a side-to-side span so that the whole of the front facing the aerodrome could be covered by one large folding door, 18 feet high. This hangar has been altered but remains in use.
