Re: Wellington Bomber production in Accrington?

My Grandad never called that site English Electric...even when it was English Electric.
My husband worked at English Electric....later known as GEC....he says that he can't remember it being Bristol, but he does remember being shown a shed and told that they used to make wings in there for fighter planes.
He thought someone was yanking his chain...but it looks like it was true after all.
