VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage collage-style advertisement for Concorde Owen Aircraft Limited, emphasizing the company's involvement in aircraft production during what appears to be the World War II era. The central image features a large propeller-driven airplane with "WORK IN HAND" superimposed over it, suggesting ongoing manufacturing efforts. Surrounding this central image are smaller black-and-white photographs showcasing various aspects of aircraft construction and the workers involved. In the upper left corner, there's an image of an individual working on part of an airplane's wing structure. Below that, we see a woman focused on assembling or inspecting a component; her attire and role indicate women’s critical contribution to wartime industry. To the right side of the plane, another photograph captures two individuals attentively operating machinery—possibly related to parts fabrication or assembly processes essential for aircraft production. The bottom right photo shows another female worker inside what looks like an aircraft cockpit or fuselage section, highlighting precision work likely associated with internal systems or control mechanisms. The text at the bottom reads "CONCORDE OWEN AIRCRAFT LIMITED - ENGINEERS & TOOLMAKERS - LETCHWORTH", which identifies both the company name and its location in Letchworth while also indicating their specialization as engineers and toolmakers. This ad conveys not only Concorde Owen Aircraft Limited's capabilities but also serves as historical evidence of industrial efforts during wartime periods where diverse labor forces were mobilized for national objectives.
