I've seen the topic of what might/might not be buried at Castle Bromwich discussed a few times on WIX. Hawker's at Langley could be a similar topic.
When the factory closed (late 1940s, I think) Ford's bought it and, AIUI, built trucks there. Many yrs ago, I was present at a discussion which maintained that underfloor cavities containing aircraft parts had been sealed up when the truck assembly lines were put in. Does anybody know if this is true?
Not too long ago (within last 5 yrs?), I heard that Ford had closed the plant......
