The Stratosphere Chamber was constructed for Barnes Wallis in 1947, as a huge laboratory in which high-altitude conditions could be simulated for research into high-speed flight. With a huge sliding door it could hold complete fuselages of many aircraft and even the forward fuselage sections of the Vickers Airliners. It was constructed by Vickers Marine Division using submarine expertise and was 'cutting edge technology' all through its working life.
The Museum is lucky in that one of its volunteers until his death in 2004 (aged 88) was Norman 'Spud' Boorer, who had worked with Barnes Wallis and was greatly involved with him in the design of the chamber This video is the first of several showing its refurbishment that will take place over the next few years.
