Default Some airfield snow clearing - 1978

Not the same thing that Jack and I were talking about: this is
snow-clearing Northolt, end December 1978, using the standard rotary
snow-blowers: note that the 'MET' depth was quite small IIRC, around 6
cm, but the character of the snow and the wind did its job - the
sculpture of snow is outside the Met Office window of the time, but
quite a bit of the snow came *in* the office.

That is more or less how it is done today - well it was when I was last at
Aberdeen in the snow some six years ago.
I have tried a Google search for airfield snow clearance equipment, but
didn't get very far. I'll try again.

Jack
