Luton
Thanks for that Jon! I heard in the past from our now passed-on Vauxhall employee who rememebers the bombing of the plant. It is suggested that the Luftwaffe were heading for the Percival Aircraft factory at Luton Airport as it became. It is possible that they mistook the buildings.
From my notes:
"The Luftwaffe bombed the Luton Plant on 30 August, 1940, and 39 workers were killed and over 40 seriously injured. Despite extensive damage, production was delayed just three days."
