I seem to recall it was Fairey's airfield before the MoA took it over for development in 1948 (?)
It was originally expanded to take long range bombers near the end of the war but that finished before it became operational. It was then ear-marked to become London Airport and the rest as they say is history...

I remember the Hunting-Clan black hangar...
