RAF landing track plates
hello,
i am looking for info and pictures of the following matter when the USAAF used grassfields as a landing strip to used metal plates to put on the soil for ameliorize the landing and take off of planes they called them PPS plates those where more or less 40CM wide on several meters long and had ranges of 3 holes in the plates and could be attached one to another now my question is about the RAF landing fields so grassland or nonconcrete strips the Birtish Forces used also a sort of plates but where looking different from those PPS it was more like a rooster looking does any of our readers have clear pictures about those plates and info did they had a special name, thanks in advance phil |
