There is a plaque in De Havilland Road stating that the aerodrome used to
be
on this site. Which area did it cover, i.e. which roads or parts of roads
are built on its site?

That must have been a long time ago, before the area was built-up. It was
obviously west of the Edgware Road, and would have been very close to Hendon
Aerodrome. This makes me think that it might have been a satellite field for
Hendon, or even a field on which they practised forced landings. For various
reasons, you do not normally put airfields close together to avoid
conflicting aircraft movements, like when the wind is blowing from one to
the other. Even when they are a few miles apart, there are problems. Less
than two miles and you are in real difficulty.
