One of the best engineering company's In the days gone past, they were a good contribution to the war effect, they were known through out the world for thier reliability for making good products .
Quite sad reading the defeatist comments below considering the UK is one of the richest countries in the world, is the worlds 5th largest exporter of goods and services, militarily number three and the worlds number one financial center but there you go, you can't please everyone. Mustn't grumble.
I àgree. it's sad. But there are many of us that know Britain is still great. Sure we are in trouble due to certain things I will remain quite about. But Britain will rise again, but we can't do it while we are still in the EU..
And noww.....virtually nothing that we can call a `shipping` industry...all thanks to your ever caring goverments of the day? At least my model Perkasa mtb(built a Vospers in the 60`s) can be taken out for a run on my local water occasionally. Such a shame they way our country has gone down the plughole?

Very interesting and brings back memories of working there in the 1980s making Eaton gearbox parts.
Thomas Wethered of Marlow. I can remember drinking that brewery's beer. Dennis Bros supplied dray wagons to Fremlins.
Drove the last of Antar tank transporters, which were still in army service into the early 1980s.
My grandad used to deliver those trucks all over the country for tones
I have a feeling both my parents worked there in the mid 50s
didnt realise they played such a part in the war
Back when made in Great Britain meant it was a good product.
