Beaufighter Fuselages at Standard Motors
Hi Roger, have just found your post.
I am researching Beaufighter production in WW2 and am very keen to locate any photographs of fuselages being assembled at Standard Motors. Did your friend publish in Triumph World and is the article still available?
The fuselages were almost certainly shipped to the BAC factory at Weston-S-Mare where 3336 aircraft were produced (see “Weston-Super-Mare and the Aeroplane” by Roger Dudley and Ted Johnson).
I have contacted the usual sources without success, but am still waiting to hear from the Heritage Motor Industry Museum.
Any assistance would be much appreciated
