Default Interesting BoB photo

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
