Framed Print of Sheepsfoot roller JLP01_01_006_42

FILTON AIRFIELD, SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE. A sheepsfoot roller carrying out compaction work during the construction of the runway at Filton.
Laing extended the runway westwards at Filton Airfield to accommodate the Bristol Brabazon airliner, which was being built at the airfield. Work began in July 1946 on the new runway, which was 2, 725 yards long and 100 yards wide. The work required the requisitioning and removal of Charlton village and a temporary flying strip was laid, for use while the new runway was under construction.
