There are a few photos of the aerodrome at:

That's wonderful, thanks! It's clear from those photos that at the start of
1926 the factory was surrounded by fields in all directions, and by the end
of that year every road and house which currently exists was in place
(except for the two sideroads off De Havillands Road which I already knew
were recent). That completely answers my question.

Thanks also to Stuart, Terry and Greg.
