Photograph dated June 1949 of some employees at the Brabazon hangar, Bristol. Found in the collection of a deceased relative. The hangars were built in 1946 to develop the post war UK airline industry and saw the launch of its first passenger airliner - "The Brabazon" in September, 1949.

Unfortunately, no details of the men in the photo but may be of interest to someone who knows a bit more about the place and may have had relatives working there.
