Talk:Squire Car Manufacturing Company

Moved from article space:Mean as custard (talk) 17:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC) During the war Adrian Squire worked with my father at the Bristol Aeroplane Company experimental engine division at Patchway Bristol. Here is my fathers account of how Adrian and others died.

"On 25th  September  1940  there  was  a  German  daylight  raid  on  the  works.   57  HEINKEL111S   dropped over  100  tons  of  bombs  and  extensively  damaged  the  factories  at  Filton  and  Patchway.   Over  70  people  were  killed  and  many  more  injured.   The  shelter  next  to  the  one  I  was  in  was  hit,   and  several  people  killed   including  Adrian  Squire,  engineer  in  charge  of  the  development  of  the  Centaurus  engine.  After  the  raid,  the  drawing  office  was  dispersed,  and  housed  in  various  large  houses  in  Clifton,  off  Whiteladies  Road.    After  about  a  year,  we  were  all  united  again  in  the  main  building  of  Fry's  chocolate  factory  at  Somerdale ,  near  Keynsham."
