The picture shows a Handley Page Halifax Mk 1, loaded onto lorries & waiting to leave the factory. The Halifax was a large four engined heavy bomber & over 660 of these planes were built at Heaton Chapel. They were taken to Ringway for assembly & test flying. Note the two major fuselage sections, and also the other trucks carrying the wings & tailplanes. Possibly taken in 1941.Also note the camouflage on the office building '
