AVRO Organisation 1943

I was given this dye line print many years ago by a friend who worked in the DO at Woodford. Its a nice selection of sketches dated 1943 of the various sites used by AVRO in the production of their aircraft.
With Woodford and the Ringway factory gone and the the last part of Chadderton about to close, it is a sad record of a once industrial giant.
I know my Grandfather worked at four of the sites shown during his time with AVRO (1913 -1956).
A detail I find interesting is that the camouflaged Yeadon factory is shown.
