I went to the Footscray Technical College in the early 60s and they had two excellent machine shops, moulding shop (casting in aluminium),welding shop, sheet metal shop and carpenters shops. I never heard of any participation in the war effort but that was 20 years previous and I don't know what capability there would have been at that time.
What I do know is that it is all gone now along with so many other technical schools and their facilities. Apparently it was decided at some point that we no longer needed skilled tradesmen. David
