Wanna see where Seafire wings were built?

Folland was a subcontractor during the war building Seafire wings. Folland later built the Gnat and now builds components for Boeing and Airbus as Aerostructures Hamble, Ltd., a subsidary of the Dowty Group. The hangar pictured is still in use at the site, and was constructed in 1936 by British Marine Aircraft to build seaplanes. The open hangar door leads down a concrete ramp to Southampton Water.
I checked, they no longer have any Seafire drawings laying around...
