Thanks DaveRedidUK. My father worked at Fairey's as teenager in 1939/40, whilst waiting to sign up. My paternal grandfather flew from the airport many times in the 1930.

If you use a mapping or search site for The Green Man pub at TW14 0PZ, that places you in Faggs Road. Then take a 'birds eye' view of the area and you can see the buildings on the South Side of Faggs Road. Taking a closer look, it seems that Sky Chefs have moved since I was last on that road. Radius park is a light industrial park on the site.
