EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the archives, Concorde 002 is seen being towed out of the historic Brabazon Hangar at Filton, a significant moment in the final stages of its production. The sleek supersonic aircraft, with its iconic delta-wing design and gleaming aluminum surface, stands out against the grey concrete backdrop of the hangar. The Brabazon Hangar, named after the visionary British engineer Sir Frederick Handley Page, was originally built in 1946 to house the development of the Avro Arrow, a Canadian jet fighter project that was later cancelled. It was later leased to British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the development and manufacture of Concorde, the world's first supersonic passenger airliner. As the largest hangar in the world at the time, it was the perfect location for the assembly and fitting out of Concorde 002, the second of two prototypes built. In this image, the aircraft is being carefully maneuvered out of the hangar, likely for final fitting and testing before its maiden flight. The tow truck and support vehicles in the foreground add a sense of industry and activity to the scene, while the open doors of the hangar reveal the vast scale of the engineering feat that took place within. The image captures a moment of transition, as Concorde 002 moves from the protected confines of the hangar to the open air, ready to take to the skies and write a new chapter in aviation history. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, designers, and workers who brought Concorde to life, and serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements in aviation that have come before us.
