Shadow Factory

Autumn 1940. The Battle of Britain rages. Southampton is home to our only hope of victory: the Spitfire. But, in one of many devastating raids on the town, the Luftwaffe destroy the Woolston Supermarine Spitfire factory. The Government requisitions local businesses to use as shadow factories - but meets resistance. Fred Dimmock won't give up his family laundry for anyone. As the Dimmocks, and other families, struggle to keep control of their lives and livelihoods, a story of chaos, courage and community spirit emerges.
