Kids making lathes

[David Dunlop]

Two possibilities come to mind, Mike: full production, or perhaps some parts and final assembly.

I have read of schools throughout England during the war being involved with wartime parts production in various forms. The pilot's seat for the Spitfire and/or Hurricane comes to mind as one example.

As Terry says, the layout of the shop probably determined what could be accomplished. If you have a technical school in your area that was around during the war, it might be worthwhile popping in one day and asking if they were involved at all with the war effort. You might get an interesting surprise.
