This photo is scanned from my grandfather's scrapbook and shows one of the Beardmore engines used on the R101.

This photo was scanned from my grandfather's scrapbook. Judging from the position of the mooring tower and the fence, it was probably taken from the A600 road which runs past the front of the hangars at Cardington.
