Heron at Stoughton Aerodrome

First post here - I normally just lurk, with great interest...

Anyway, does anyone have any info on the Heron that was based at Stoughton Aerodrome (more correctly known as Leicester Airport - former WW2 RAF Leicester East)?

I grew up not far from the airfield, and remember seeing it quite regularly as a child - late '70s / early '80s, I would think. I believe it belonged to the Fox family - as in Fox's Glacier Mints.

My parents have a few photos taken on the airfield at that time, but none of the Heron. As an aside, the ill-fated Varsity is in one or two.
