Does anyone else remember seeing remnants of the camouflage paint which originally covered all the factory buildings at the Bristol site during the war to avoid the site being bombed. As far as I know the nearest bomb destroyed a terraced house above the Greyhound pub on the opposite side of Whalley Road - about a mile away. The result was a gap in the row of houses which was left there for decades afterwards.
