The \ > BRABAZON Visits London (1) After an official inspection of the interior, Mr. Strauss, Minister of Supply, leads Lord Addison, Lord Pakenham, Mr. Clement Davies, Sir Miles Thomas and Mr. Beswick down the stairway. Lord Brabazon awaits them on the tarmac (2) Mr. A. J. Pegg, captain and test pilot of the Brabazon, and his crew, are welcomed by Mr. Roger Pugh, airport manager. (3) Even those who had previously seen the Brabazon in the making were astonished at the exceptional spaciousness of the aft cabin which now contains temporary furnishing. (4) The upper centre-section compartment and the larger one im- mediately forward of it contain twelve automatic recorders. (5) The Brabazon's 230ft wing span and 177ft fuselage length dwarf the surrounding fuel tanker, fire engines and 'bus. : (6) Both its size and beauty of form can be well appreciated when the. Brabazon flies low overhead. (7) Using no more than one-third of London Airport's main run- way, 250,000 Ib of Brabazon rise majestically from the ground.
