[QUOTE="laurencedyer, post: 416874, member: 5990"] Great show guys, loved the topics for the Rebel Briefings section. I had seen the initial thread regarding the message in the Falcon but didn't see the end result, fantastic story. I just copied this section from my research thread regarding Aldridge Plastics although when I researched them I thought they had ceased trading. He confirmed that the Millennium Falcon was built at Coalville. He told me that a company called Aldridge Plastics (ceased trading in 2009) in the West Midlands did the injection moulding for the MF and were making deliveries daily to Coalville; although I believe the MF had been subcontracted out at peak periods to meet demand, as mentioned to me by a good friend and reliable source and that they would then assemble it at Coalville and pack it for distribution. He also said that they did have their own injection moulding machines at Coalville but they were for making dolls that were then painted in the paint shop. Thought you may find it of interest.
