Earlier this week Historic England released thousands of pictures covering the years from John Laing Construction who where once one of the largest construction companies in the UK .
One project was the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral that was destroyed in WW11. I found this news report that has some nostalgic pictures and reports of the project including how the RAF and John Laing worked together for the helicopter lift of the new spire into position.
Not sure if this has been posted before but thought it might be of interest.
