Napier Aero Engines, Heron Trading Estate, Acton.

If you Google Napier Aero Engines Roll of Honour, you will find an A-Z of former employees of the company. Do you have a relative living or now deceased that worked for Napier? Does anyone know if a company based next door to Napier's by the name of Shaw and Kilburn (engineers and coachbuilders) also have a Roll of Honour of former employees? There is no such list on the Internet. I can be contacted via this forum or at n.milkin@sky.com

Was there a Shaw and Kilburn garage in Luton?  National archives have reference to business papers for the owner.http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/d34a5ef4-2e8c-4277-980d-5c76f4c886e4
