In the 23 odd years I=E2=80=99ve been on this list, I don=E2=80=99t think I=E2=
=80=99ve laughed so much at a ww2 veterans observation of manufacturing life=
in this country during the conflict. Get this. Manufacturing of anything to=
do with the prosecution of the war in the U.K. was strictly off limits to a=
nyone not directly involved in it. As for farms being involved, all the farm=
s were going flat out doing everything possible to feed the population. Hitl=
ers U Boats nearly starved us out and farms had far more important things to=
do that paint hardware and let it dry. This poppycock is as way out of the w=
indow as myths I=E2=80=99ve seen in the past on this list that Triumphs were=
built using whatever happened to be available, or E type Jaguars were built=
in a factory with rusty metal walls as cladding and earth floors!!
