1936 Plans for Aylesbury Airport
Plans for Aylesbury Airport were well advanced and would have made a major impact in the area. Note the hangars and terminal on the north side and the railway halt in the south-east corner, (almost where the present station is).

The airfield in its original form. Note the eastern boundary stops at Windmill Road. Also note the small size of the village itself.
On the airfield can be seen numerous aircraft - mainly Hotspur gliders.

1948 Motorbike racing circuit
Not quite to scale but I think you can get an idea of the layout of the circuit from this layout.

Note the extension of the airfield completed in 1943 which completely removed Windmill Road (although this can still be seen as a 'parch mark' across the centre of the airfield).
You can see several Halifax bombers outside Airtech Ltd.

Note the expansion of the village
