Castle Brom
Thanks R6915 for that it just shows how good Prune is for digging out that detail that never went into print or a book. I did hear that there were 'issues' with the workforce and Unions and that Beaverbrooks 'riot act' included talk of 'conscription' if matters were not settled.
Until then Supermarine and Vickers had no responsibility for the CB situation, but they certainly got things moving once the were asked. Also Sir Richard Fairey spelt out the problem very clearly and as an 'independent' observer his opinion was taken seriously thank goodness.
