Hi Bob: There is a thread on the forum going back a few years called "The Spitfire" If you put that in the Search at the top right hand of the page and go to Page 9 you will find mention of the Lancaster bombers being manufactured at Bickenhill. They were also assembled at Cofton Hackett at the Austin Aero Shadow factory. I have a friend who has lived around there for over 70 years and he told me about the "Shed" as they called the place were several aircraft, including Lancasters were assembled. Many local people tried to get the "Shed" listed as a Heritage building but failed and it was demolished a couple of years ago.
