In this print by Tomlin, we are transported back to the 1930s at the Philips and Powis factory in Woodley Aerodrome, Reading. The image captures a pivotal moment during the construction of the iconic Miles 3 Falcon aircraft. An engineer, fully engrossed in his work, meticulously checks the pistons of the Gipsy Six engine. The scene exudes an atmosphere of focused determination as this mid-adult man devotes his expertise to ensuring every component is flawlessly assembled. His hands delicately maneuver around the intricate machinery while his eyes remain fixed on his task at hand. It is evident that he possesses a deep understanding of these engines - their power and potential. This photograph not only showcases skilled craftsmanship but also symbolizes progress and innovation within aviation during this era. As planes were becoming more advanced, engineers like him played a crucial role in pushing boundaries and shaping our future in flight. Tomlin's composition beautifully captures both the technical precision required for such endeavors and hints at the passion that drives these individuals forward.
