What is the fixture & fitting with the DMC logo in the back ground? And what became of them when the factory closed and do any exist today?
Cheers Louie, I had a suspicion they might have been something related to drying out the fibreglass.
If they did blow out air it cant have been that warm as I've seen tv footage if people walking under them and pushing the bodyshells...unless they were turn off at certain times of the day.
This is likely to be the curing oven. The structure is 100 feet in length. You can just see the lozenge shape entry at the far end of the structure. The black bodies were conveyed on a moving track. The photograph was taken during the start-up phase of the company the oven was unlikely to be operating at the time of the photograph. I’ll get confirmation of these facts later this week – If I’m wrong I’ll let you know – but I believe I am correct. The oven – as with all other factory contents was sold in the factory auction organised by the liquidators Henry Butcher and sons.

The oven ended up being offered for sale recently on the Irish forum, I think it was used as a spray booth up until recently, looks like tie is still in good shape...
