I'd suggest he was a tad mistaken - IIRC the Sky Chefs building was in the middle of the Faggs Road one-way system, where the Atrium Hotel is now.

Fairey's aerodrome was about a mile west of the Green Man and disappeared entirely in 1946 under the southern runway and what was to become the T4 apron.
