Josephine, Would that be the same as the Parnall Aircraft Limited in Bristol? My father was the chief accountant there from 1941-48.

If you haven't already seen it, you may be interested in an account from WW2 People's War of the bombing of this aircraft factory at Yate: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/97/a3604097.shtml Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Thanks for the link, Josephine. I hadn't seen it. That would make sense because we lived in Chipping Sodbury during the war. In 1943, we lived in the Rectory in Chipping Sodbury. I remember an air raid and sitting in the living room with curtains drawn, in the darkness. As I've posted before, this experience was one of my earliest recollections. I can still hear the wail of the sirens in my head.
