The transformation of the historic Brabazon Hangars into the 20,000-capacity YTL Arena in Bristol is gathering pace, with major demolition completed ready for construction to begin.
The central hangar has been stripped back to its original 1940s steel frame, while the iconic Esavian sliding hangar doors have been removed, creating a striking view straight through the vast building that was the birthplace of Concorde.
Preparations are also underway to enable the construction of the new seating bowl and an accessible bridge connecting the arena complex with the rest of Brabazon.
