You're.....
.....right, Paul!
This list was taken from an original printed luist and I think I got it off Bill Purchase? There are so many companies not listed...I suppose they came under the "MS/" description.
HQ Southern Command I know was based at Beaver's Camp, Beavers Lane, Hounslow, Middlesex as I lived 1/2 mile away, and it was a few yards on the opposite side of the road to Hounslow Cavalary Barracks. It was built on Beaver's Farm under wartime regs by the War Office and was promised to be handed back to the local authority post-war for housing. Nearly 40 years later it was still MoD! However, it was so extensive that I am sure that they did vehicle repairs there.
I wonder if Bill has the AAW list? I have never seen one. I was interested at the time of receipt of the copy in the Cleckheaton Plant code, as I have their figures.
