Baginton World War 11

[Bookworm9]

Hello everyone, this is a very long shot as it is a bit localised to the Midlands.
I wondered if anyone can tell me the name of the aircraft that was built at Baginton during the war years.
My Mother in Law - who is now in care home and not able to answer for herself used to help build them but we don't know if they were Wellingtons or Lancasters.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful.

Hi Bookworm just done a quick search and Lancasters were built at Baginton between 1939-1949. Hope this helps

Do you live near Baginton? I am about 2 miles away if you need anything else checking out which might jog her memory x

Many thanks everyone for your help. I think it is as alexanderd says, The Lancaster.
We can't ask my Mother In Law as she is now as deaf as a post and we can't get through to her to ask any questions but thanks forthe offer echokilo .
It is a shame that so many of these wonderful planes got shot down and we lost the crews with them.
Thanks again for your help.
