Here's a view of the northern end of the short runway 21 as seen in the top righthand of you overlay.
Modern housing covers the area today.

I have a book somewhere entitled Glasgow's Airports, I'll try and look it out and break my scanning / posting pictures cherry

With some photograph permissions put in place, someone could do a really good wee booklet on Renfrew Airport, there is so much history to it and it's connections with serving the Glasgow area for many years.
A trawl through the newspaper archives throws up so many articles and photo's of the Airport, with many dignitaries, celebrities and sportsmen of the day photographed there.
It was a very aesthetically pleasing building, i would have loved to have seen the Terminal building before it was destroyed.
I look forward to seeing your scanned photo's Chris.
