1944 Claremont Esher Evacuated Experimental Hawker Kingston Sydney
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Sydney Camm Experimental Design Team of Hawker Aircraft are seen gathered at Claremont House in Esher, Surrey, during World War II. The team had been evacuated from their headquarters at Canbury Park Road in Kingston upon Thames since 1940 due to the threat of air raids. The image captures the team in front of a large hangar, with several aircraft in various stages of construction and repair behind them. The team members, dressed in work overalls and wearing protective goggles, are engrossed in their work, demonstrating a deep focus and determination. The team's mascot, a bulldog named "Butty," can be seen sitting on a table in the foreground, adding a touch of levity to the scene. The backdrop of Claremont House, with its grand facade and manicured gardens, provides a stark contrast to the industrial activity taking place within the grounds. The team's transport, including a lorry and several motorcycles, are parked nearby, indicating the importance of logistics and mobility in the design and development of new aircraft. The year is 1944, and the team is working tirelessly to design and produce innovative and effective aircraft to support the war effort. The photograph offers a glimpse into the dedication and innovation of the Sydney Camm Experimental Design Team during a pivotal moment in history. This photograph is an important historical record of a critical time in aviation history and offers a unique insight into the daily life and work of the Sydney Camm Experimental Design Team during World War II. It is a reminder of the critical role that engineering and design played in the war effort and the importance of perseverance and innovation in the face of adversity.
