    Northolt at top of these photos listing 107 aerodromes within 50 miles of Hyde Park Corner. Same file and close in date to above.

    "Caxton Gibbet" would be a great name for a London Airport. ( last photo ).

    Choose another place on the map from February 1959 ( TNA ref AIR2/14333 ) which shows population around Blackbushe, Heathrow, Stansted and Southend.

    A large target. London Terminal Control Area, 1958 ( TNA ref AIR2/14333 ): looks like aircraft routeing along Amber or Green should look out for a "UFO" from NASA.
