EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vickers at Brooklands EPW056377" takes us back in time to March 1938, capturing a remarkable aerial view of the Vickers (Aviation) Ltd Works located in Brooklands. The photograph, skillfully taken by Aerofilms Ltd, offers a unique perspective on this iconic industrial site. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the sprawling factory complex below. The intricate network of buildings and structures showcases the sheer scale and magnitude of Vickers' operations during that era. Smoke billows from towering chimneys, hinting at the ceaseless activity within these walls. The composition highlights both order and chaos; rows of neatly aligned rooftops contrast with scattered machinery and vehicles dotting the landscape. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder of the relentless energy pulsating through this hub of innovation and production. The historical significance is palpable as we contemplate how this very place contributed to Britain's aviation industry during a pivotal period in history. It was here that dreams took flight, where groundbreaking aircraft designs were conceived and brought to life. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this evocative print allows us an intimate glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity, perseverance, and progress—a visual tribute to those who labored tirelessly behind these factory walls shaping our shared history.
