Miles Monoplane landing at Heston Airport

The sports cars used to assemble on the apron in front of the hangars where the old aircraft fuel pump used to be on the eastern side of the control tower. There was still much of the old perimeter track left in the 1960's up to Berkeley School's playing field near to where I saw the Miles Hawk Trainer and finishing westwards to where Heston Aircraft used to have their design offices and production facilities near to Cranford. I learnt to drive myself on this peri-track and the sprints used by various auto-clubs, such as Triumph and Morgan, etc used the same. Regarding the Hawk Trainer however, I am still trying to contact the current pilots of G-ADWT to see if they have any record of this event in the aircraft's log book, if it indeed goes back this far.
