Here, in the heart of a beautiful country under the green rolling Cots- wolds, metal wings for many types of aeroplanes besides the well-known ' Glosters' are made."— Daily Tdigraph. "The inside of the Gloster factory is exceptionally interesting because of the great variety of types seen in various stages of con- struction, and because of the big batches of wings for types not designed nor erected here. Almost endless strips of high tensile steel are to be seen passing into huge machines _; and t merging with rolled top and bottom flanges. They are used for building up light but immensely strong wing spars."—D~ily Telegraph. GLOSTER AIRCRAFT Co. Ltd. ^SUNNINGEND, CHELTENHAM. •^/P- GLOSTER WORKS AND AERODROME, BROCKWORTH, GLOS."
