I'm kind of starting this thread over.

The USAAF established maintenance depots called the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Base
Air Depots at Burtonwood, Warton and Langford Lodge. For typical
activities

What you bring is just what I'm describing but huge and not small: *I
never said the USA and UK militaries couldn't have huge repair,
construction, assemble, and parts manufacturing.*


Actually you claimed they had what you described as 'mini-mills'

Quite interesting that the RAF and USAFF were able to muster large
scale, I had only put forward small-scale,

Quite so and you were wrong

labor, technological, industrial, and financial gaints. This
facialities had to be near major airbases?

In WW2 ANY point in Southern England was near a major
airbase, there are 4 ex airbases within 5 miles of my house
Bassingbourn, Tempsford, Gransden Lodge and Bourn

It is itself a military
facility or a manufacturers' facility?


Sometimes but in the UK it was most often a civilian
specialist aircraft repair company like Marshall's


and the related links found on those pages.

These were the sites for heavy maintenance for aircraft and ground
support
equipment.

In addition there were Strategic Air Depots designed to do the same
tasks on
a smaller scale (Burtonwood was the largest air base in Europe). These
were
located at Honington, Little Staughton, Watton and Wattisham (1st SAD,
2nd

Thank-you Tex. Burtonwood was the largest air base in Europe. My
only mistake, I'm gonna pay dearly for it too just see, is that I was
so timid as to put forward only "small factories" on major bases. Now
I have catagorical evidense of large-scale conprensive repair,
recycling, reconstruciton of all manner of aircraft all at once
occuring at one major air base and text stating smaller versions
existed on many bases.


But not manufacture from scratch which was your claim

My detractors will now claim a victory. ****ing fags they must be,
and on drugs too, I bet.
