The Viscount 800 was a significant development in the aviation industry, marking the evolution of the successful Viscount series into a larger, more advanced aircraft. The image showcases the intricate process of assembling the aircraft's wings, with workers meticulously aligning and securing the various components. The wings, a crucial part of the aircraft's structure, are being joined to the fuselage, which lies in the foreground. The factory floor is a symphony of industry and innovation, with workers in their blue overalls moving purposefully between the various stations, each contributing to the final product. The Vickers Viscount 800 was a twin-engine, turboprop airliner that first flew in 1962.

The factory floor, filled with the hum of machinery and the sound of progress, serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the aviation industry during this era. In conclusion, this photograph captures the essence of innovation and industry during the production of the Vickers Viscount 800 at Weybridge.
