Heston Aerodrome, Hounslow, Middlesex, c1930s. Creator: Aerofilms.

Heston Aerodrome, Hounslow, Middlesex, c1930s. The control tower (centre) may have been the first purpose-built example and became the model for this class of building. Between 1931 and 1937 Heston Airport was operated as a commercial airport  by Airwork Ltd (whose logo appears on the the Customs House and aircraft), after which it was taken over by the Air Ministry. It was used as a fighter base during wartime, but Heathrow was preferred as the site for a commercial airport and the aerodrome was closed in 1947.
