Gravel pit arrester being tested by RAF
Testing a gravel pit arrester for stopping runaway jets, using an RAF lightning jet fighter, showing a close-up of spray from the gravel. The idea was that an aircraft unable to stop before the end of the runway would be brought quickly and safely to a halt after being steered into a long pit filled with gravel. Date: 1975
