That is a pity Terry. Joni Mitchell had it right all along. "We don't know what we've got 'til it's gone".

I think there are only one or two RCA buildings left at their old facility in Camden now.

I believe the old MTB (motor torpedo boat) plant still exists. Although the boat basin is now a truck parking lot and small lift bridge and access waterway to the canal are gone.

I believe there were photos before/now in one of the Convoy magazines.

Hanno found some interesting info on the MTB plant in the other thread..don't know if even that survives...
very interesting before and after photos of the Angus Yards locomotive works which made Valentine tanks in WWII.. the building has been split in two with a road running through what was the middle, one part is now a large supermarket..

You can briefly see the valentines made, along with planes etc in this wartime promotional clip
