1964 Assembly Eleven Final Hurn
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the final assembly line of the BAC One-Eleven aircraft at Hurn, on the 27th of May, 1964. The British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) One-Eleven is a short- to medium-range jet airliner, which first took to the skies in 1961. This image captures the intricacy and precision involved in the production of these remarkable machines. The BAC One-Eleven was a significant advancement in aviation technology, featuring a twin-engine, T-tail design, and a unique "walk-through" cabin layout. The aircraft was renowned for its fuel efficiency, short takeoff and landing capabilities, and its versatility, making it a popular choice among both regional airlines and military operators. In this photograph, we see the final stages of the assembly process, with various components of the aircraft coming together. Workers in protective gear are seen meticulously installing parts, while others check and adjust systems. The final product, with its wings and tail already attached, looms in the background, ready to be tested and prepared for its maiden flight. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, skill, and dedication of the engineers and workers who brought these aircraft to life. It offers a fascinating insight into the history of aviation and the intricacies of aircraft manufacturing during the mid-20th century.
