EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the intricate process of assembling an engine and controls on an engine jig at Handley Page's works in Cricklewood. The image, taken in November 1936, offers a glimpse into the expansive aircraft manufacturing facility where the latest type of heavy bomber aeroplanes were being produced for the Royal Air Force Expansion Scheme. The Royal Air Force, in response to the growing international tension, was expanding its fleet to ensure air superiority. Handley Page, a renowned British aircraft manufacturer, was at the forefront of this effort, with Cricklewood being the site of production for these heavy bombers. The engine jig, a crucial piece of equipment, is seen in the foreground, with various engine components neatly arranged, ready to be assembled. The engine jig played a vital role in the assembly process, ensuring precision and accuracy in the installation of engines and controls. The heavy bombers, which were built to carry large payloads and fly long distances, required powerful engines and sophisticated control systems. The jig allowed for the efficient and consistent assembly of these complex components, contributing significantly to the production line. The photograph captures the industrious atmosphere at Handley Page's works, with workers diligently assembling various parts of the aircraft. The engine jig stands as a testament to the technological advancements and the meticulous attention to detail that went into the production of these heavy bombers, which were crucial in safeguarding the skies during this period of global unrest.
