There must have been a self-propelled flying wing, but I have never found any trace of it in the very small researches made.
The AW 52 was powered by two RR Nenes but didn't fly until 1948 which is well past your time frame.
It was flown from Baginton and Boscombe Down but no mention of Radlett which of course belonged to a competitor.
I've been trying to think of another UK flying wing and come up blank.
The DH 108 is a possibility although not a true flying wing. Based at Hatfield they would be likely to fly over London Colney but again, the first two didn't fly until mid 1946.
