The Statesman

"  At its height, the Corgi factory in Swansea, South Wales, named by
founder Philip Ullmann after the Queen’s favourite breed of dog in a
self-conscious act of patriotism towards his adopted home, employed
6,000 people. Thousands of them were workers who had deserted the
declining local coal mines to join the production line. "

thanks for that, if they redo "The James Bond Goldfinger Aston Martin had an
ejector seat"
theyll be one on my 1930's layout next to the skaledale Anglia.

Cheers,
