Hello. I am searching for information about Vickers Armstrong. My late husband's father worked there in the administration, and his brother as a mechanic....surname Orange. My husband Harry Orange owned a used car yard on Scotswood road, Elsick Motors, back in the 50 - 60s
I would love to get some information about Vickers.
My email address is (*) I live in Australia.

Hi Jennifer Dawn
I've started this new topic for you as the one you posted on hadn't been updated since 2005.

Welcome to Rootschat.
If you google "Vickers Armstrong Elswick Works" there are a number of sites on-line with information, including photographs.

Is it something specific you need to know about Vickers Armstrong or are the links to general information helping you?

I also are after information about Vickers Armstrong, my Grandfather apparently worked there for many years including thru the war. I think my mother told me that me was an engineer. I would like to find out if he served an apprenticeship there and if they may have records of his service.
Where should I start? I live in Australia, but I am planning on visiting Newcastle next year.
