Yes, a DC-6 passed over the Ascot area at 1425Z, heading south.
(Hmmm ... but if 'XC had only 'just' departed CWL at 1214, then this doesn't seem to fit. Is G-APSA flying as well, perhaps?)
On the subject of big pistons in the night, back in the sixties, Air France had a LHR-ORY night freight service operated by the Breguet 'Deux Ponts' or 'Universal'. It was powered by four P & W R-2800 engines, the same as the DC-6, and on still nights, I swear you could hear it almost down to the South Coast.
