Yep. It was taken at one of Vickers' factories in 1939. I just thought it was a good pic.

[Saracenman]

indeed it is

i stand to be corrected but i think that all Wellies were built at Brooklands - the early ones if not the later ones (and that's an early snap) - and we all know what else was built there don't we Mackrick

Sorry, I don't know, I was just going by the copy that accompanied the pic in The Times

Nevertheless, in the late 1930s Vickers succeeded in building Wellingtons at a rate of one per day at Weybridge and 50 per month at Chester. Peak wartime production in 1942 saw monthly rates of 70 achieved at Weybridge, 130 at Chester and 102 at Blackpool.
