There is still a bad atmosphere in Luton over the closing of the Vauxhall factory. The announcement was made one December shortly after a new MD had been appointed. The plant was one of the most efficient in General Motors Europe, with the lowest reject rate on the assembly line. The site is now housing. My Dad visited the factory before WWII when he was at Leyton Technical College. I think the experience made his mind up to take up a career at sea.
