There has been a book about Lancashire airfields but none about the aircraft industry so far as I am aware. A man called John Shorrocks has just written a book about the Preston firm of Dick, Kerr & Co I will be seeing him soon and will ask if he is aware of any Bristol material. He is now researching English Electric. My dad worked there and called it English Elastic. On the site now is an organisation which acts as an umbrella for all aircraft firms in North West. Maybe you should call on them.
