Aviation Museum Hangar Interior, Manchester

1 October 2019 · Manchester

Three eras of flight share the same timber-roofed hangar at Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry. A tetrahedral kite cluster hangs from the iron trusses overhead; beneath it, an Allied Airways biplane and a blue-nosed jet fuselage occupy the same floor — a century of aviation engineering compressed into one frame. The layered geometry of suspended objects, cast-iron galleries, and aircraft wings gives the interior a depth that no single exhibit could claim alone.
