[Margaret Pilkington]

Many many years ago, my paternal Grandfather worked at what was later the English Electric site, but it is interesting to note the he told me that the company he worked for was called The Bristol Aircraft Company.
I cannot tell you if this was before WWII...or whether it was during the war years.
He always referred to the place as 'Bristol Aircraft' even after it became English Electric.
That is the only light I can throw onto this subject....I cannot tell you if the manufactured the whole aircraft...or whether it was just parts.
