John asked

AW41
WW2

MG connection?

When war broke out in1939 the M.G. factory was made into a war machine factory. One of the first assignments was repairing and maintaining the Matilda tanks. Modifying existing cars into light lorries was also done.

However, Cecil Kimber had big plans for the factory, which was not considered well by his employers. In 1941 Cecil had secured a contract on assembling the cockpit for the Armstrong Whitworth A.W. 41 Albemarle bomber. During the following years the M.G. factory made more that 900 cockpits which was a fantastic achievement. This contract, however, got Cecil fired from the M.G. factory in November 1941.
