The mural was indeed the work of Phillipa Threlfall. I still have a copy of the Airport Handbook c 1976. It is described as follows:-
... A major work depicting a number of West Riding scenes and activities. Ordinary folk are seen going about their daily occupations and recreations. The mural has a rugged but companionable informality which makes for instant appeal to both the high brows and low brows alike. Glazed ceramics, unglazed teracotta and a variety of indigenous stones, all embedded in cement, are the media from which the aartist moulds her pictures
The stones were collected in the County by children in local schools (I remember this bit as I was at Rawdon Primary School at the time). The handbook also contains a B&W picture. It's a poor quality print, but I'll see if I can scan and post it.
The handbook also contains many pictures of contemporary a/c, mostly from the camera of Colin Addison.
Edit for spelling/format
