WHITEHEADS TORPEDO WORKS

Here is a photo from the late 1920s when Whiteheads was favoured by a visit from King George V. Other distinguished guests included the Lord Lieutenant (the Earl of Shaftesbury), and the Mayor Councillor Percy Boyle.

Here the party observe preparation work on a shell.

As March marked the 60th anniversary of the Sound of Music, can any reader state the connection between Whiteheads and the von Trapp family?
