EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the Bristol Sycamore helicopter, owned by John Laing and Son Limited, took to the skies above Greater London. On board this remarkable aircraft is J. M. Laing himself, accompanied by a group of men who were part of his construction team. The purpose of this flight was not just for leisure or exploration; rather, it served as an innovative means for inspecting and photographing the progress on their various construction sites. One notable project that benefited from these aerial inspections was the iconic London to Yorkshire Motorway (M1 Motorway). This groundbreaking use of air transport allowed Laing's company to efficiently monitor their construction endeavors from above. The image exudes a sense of adventure and pioneering spirit that characterized the 1950s era. It showcases how aviation technology played a vital role in revolutionizing transportation within the business world during this time period. Preserved within Historic England Archive, this print serves as a testament to John Laing's commitment to innovation and efficiency in his construction projects. It symbolizes not only the power of air travel but also highlights how companies like John Laing & Son Limited embraced new technologies to enhance their operations.
