Malmesbury in north
Wiltshire.
Malmesbury specialised in the top secret development and production of the new
radar systems as part of the "Western Development Unit".
After the war the factory became a producer of television and later
car radio sets.
Ekco bought the
Ferranti brand and
Dynatron business.
