another cradle of British aviation put into terminal decline

So today BAe have confirmed their rumoured redundancy plans. The 900 to go at Brough looks like a death knell for that plant. It was founded in c 1920, by my great uncle. It increasingly looks like it will follow the other great founding places of the industry - Hatfield, Radlett, etc. No doubt to be turned into a trading estate (or like their Olympiua Works in Leeds, a Tesco). AAArgh!
