Not quite sure of build time but one interesting fact emerges. For hardcore for the runways etc they used the rubble from bomb damage in the cities. Subsequently when the airfields were gradually torn up after the war the hard core and smashed concrete was used for hardcore for the motorway programme.

Waste not, want not. Thanks Adolf.
