The is one of my favourite sites to appear in the Aerofilms Collection. There are photos of this works from 1921 onwards into the post WWII years, showing how it was built up and enlarged over time. The only gap is World War II itself. However, No 1 Camouflage Unit of the RAF took oblique air photos to record the barrage balloons and camouflage paintwork that protected the works (you can found these photos in the English Heritage archive). And guess who spent their war with that Unit; none other than two of Aerofilms photographers and the requisitioned Dragon Rapide that the firm had bought prior to the war for just this work! |

Katy I think that you have just given a big clue to the location of one of the unlocated photographs. The photos are almost identical. |
