G-INFO confirms that an Eric Raffles owned G-ASZC then G-AYID and also that G-AYID was registered to him at 2 Bradford Rd, Manchester which Google Earth Streetview shows as a boarded up Victorian factory, brick-built. By chance this week my 'bed-time story' on Radio4 has been the writer Jeanette Winterson reading from her autobiographical 'Why be Happy when You could be Normal!... in episode 5 she mentions that in 1959 her birth-mother, a clothing factory worker,pregnant by a Teddy-Boy, was found a place in a 'Mother and Baby' home by her boss 'Old Man Raffles' , from where Jeanette was adopted by the Wintersons
(from the scant info on the net 'Old Man Raffles' was probably Emanuel Raffles and Eric his youngest son had the Baron registered at the family factory E Raffles &Co, 2 Bradford Rd, Manchester)
