Brief article about the wartime production of plywood in the Forest of Dean. Spot the deliberate mistake…
Lots of things one could take exception to but the idea of 125,000 Mosquitoes takes some swallowing!
The idea that the plywood for all of 'em (even for the corrected number of (I think) 7,761) came from Lydney is highly unlikely since the Canadian- and Australian-built examples would have used locally made plywood.
