As ahs been pointed out seevral of these entities were not BEA alone . IAL was a company i knew well from their Gulf telecoms activities (I worked for Cable and Wireless a competitotr in that region . IALran Abu Dhabi telecoms and C&W Dubai telecoms so that had to be sorted out when the Emirates states was formed. My future wife was secretary to the boss at IAL for a time and she lived on the 'other' airways housing cheme estate off Cranford Lane opposite where the BOAC sports club and Fairey Aviation were . I think that was a partial JV with Hounslow council although like the Stanwell estate all the names were aviation related, Brabazon Rd Bleriot Rd etc . Very different to todays ghettos , mostly private developemnts now , Both estates had low density housing compared to today with most properties having decent sized gardens and all houses set well back from the roads and big green expanses seperating different areas . Especially among the mums in Stanwell there were a good few distinctly non West London accents mostly Dorset (Bournemouth/Hurn) and 'Brissol ' as BOAC had its wartime and immediate postwar activities located in those parts . BEA of course were in Northolt hence the HO in Ruislip.
I had several friends on the Stanwell estate ( l lived in the village , always emphasis on that word) and its maze like structure was perfect for early teens lads racing bikes around for hours at a time trying to catch or evade your mates. Also had a nice recreation ground tennis courts and possibly a bowling green plus a social club which was the scene of my earliest adventures with the opposite sex . Easy to criticise these things as 'typical nationalised industries but compare them to the shabby way people are treated nowadays. I dont know what happened to all the 'Airways Estate ' properties in Stanwell as I moved away in 1977 but no doubt most were sold off and like Cranford a lot of infill additional housing added it all being far too socialist for a lady who didnt believe in Society . (now there was a comment/idea whose consequences we suffer today)
