Episode 80 : Memories of the MG factory during the Second World War

In this episode, we have another of our interviews from the MG Abingdon Factory Workers Reunion. The day-long event takes place at Kimber House, home of the MG Car Club, near the location of the old factory, every year. 
 
MG may be about cars to most, but how they helped during the war did not go unrecognised – with some people regarding the work in Abingdon during World War 2 as the pinnacle of the company’s successful history. 
Iris Dixon sadly passed away earlier this year, but before she did, we were privileged to be able to spend some time with her to record some of her amazing stories, plus those of her sons Barry and Clive, who also worked at "The MG". This family's tale covers MG production of the Tempest aircraft right the way through to the 1970s and MG Midget production. 

We share this recording as a tribute to an amazing lady and an amazing life. 

Do you have an interesting story to tell? Why not get in touch and we will interview you on the podcast as well!
