Hi All
Found this photo whilst searching the net. http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~no...2-603-spit.jpg (from http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~no...l/spitfire.htm). The interesting point is the steam (traction?) engine in the background. I assume it was used as a road roller to flatten any filled in damage on the airfields or tarmac? Did they roll the ground to keep it flat as possible as Hornchurch was only a grass airfield? The thought that came to mind was that it would have been very interesting trundling along in a steam roller at 8 mph when an air raid was on! ![]() Cheers Andrew |
