RAF Speke/Liverpool

The Liverpool_John_Lennon_Airport#History article says there was one there, but it's not in the table here. Huw Powell (talk) 01:14, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Focus

Some of tbe entries listed in the table of Shadow Factories, notably Axminster, appear to be simply wartime production by non-defence related companies, rather than actual parts of the Shadow Factory scheme, which dealt specifically with the aircraft and motor industries. It is unclear whether the armaments related factories listed, such as BMARC fall within the scheme or not.

Disambiguation Page needed

Searching for 'Shadow Factory' will currently take you to The_Shadow_Factory, a page on a book about the NSA. A disambiguation page is needed, but I've no idea how to set one up.
