History of Aviation Mural

Large vertical mural depicting the evolution of flight mounted on Terminal One's wall, its sweeping imagery covering early biplanes through modern jets. The vast scale places aircraft in precise chronological rows, framing the TARDIS as it materializes abruptly in front of it. The mural's static precision contrasts with the living chaos of travelers loading luggage, their motions creating shadows that obscure portions of the displayed history.
