EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aerial View of Bristol Airport, Lulsgate Bottom, Somerset, 1970 This aerial photograph, taken by Jim Hancock in November 1970, showcases the expansive grounds of the Bristol Airport located at Lulsgate Bottom in Somerset, England. The site holds a rich historical background, having first been used as a Relief Landing Ground for the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II in 1940. The transformation of this aerodrome into a new civilian airport for the city of Bristol began in 1957. Over the subsequent years, significant developments were made to the airport infrastructure. In 1962, a new control tower was erected to enhance safety and efficiency. Two years later, in 1965, both the terminal building and runway underwent extensions to accommodate the growing number of passengers and aircraft. The image reveals the intricate layout of the airport, with the runway stretching out like a ribbon, bordered by meticulously aligned taxiways and aprons. The terminal building, a modest yet functional structure, stands proudly at the entrance, connecting the airport to the world beyond. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and green spaces, adds a touch of natural beauty to this bustling transport hub. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment in history when the airport was on the cusp of significant growth and expansion. The image serves as a testament to the evolution of air travel and the role that the Bristol Airport has played in connecting the people of the South West of England to the rest of the world.
