Hanworth Air Park remained as an airfield until 1946 / 47 (depending on which sources you read!). It is still effectively in a near-identical state nearly 60 years later.

The Graf Zeppelin visited it in 1932, which must have been a fascinating sight.

Heston also survived until 1946, so it is possible (though unlikely) that the map is just post WW2.
