The name "Castle Vale" is the modern name ;when the photo was taken it was plain Castle Bromwich . In the background by the "-" sign is the factory that turned out the most Spitfires in WW2 . This became Fisher and Ludlow for a while after WW2 , and a car body production facility for the Nuffield Group . On the nearside of the airfield are what became the small assembly sheds for aircraft components for the aircraft assembled across the road . The same sheds were the nucleus for the British Industries Fair . The aircraft were towed across Chester Road to test fly and then perform delivery flights . |
