If you use the search button I think you will find more on Concordia and Cunliffe Owen. My mother worked at Cunliffe Owens’s during the war as a fitter. She proudly told us how she made some sort of wing boxes for Hurricane’s and repaired bomb doors for other aircraft. I think they did a lot of subcontract work.

They made 504 Seafires,the word was they were faster than the Westland built because they used more flat rivets!Thanks for the info chaps.

I remember this aircraft tucked into the ACES HIGH hangar with the “Crystal Maze” set still in it. Ray Thomas and a few lads worked on this and of course the B25 “Bedsheet Bomber”

Here’s another RJ Mitchell dwelling, his birthplace in Butt Lane, Kidsgrove

Thanks for showing me the house he was born in, just wish he lived longer and had his bomber design made
