We used to make things in this country #88
About 1980 someone gave the family a dining set (as shown but painted dark blue) with the explanation that they had been made from surplus plywood from DeHavilland Mosquito manufacture after WW2. I'm not sure that was completely true but this furniture was made by Canadian Wooden Aircraft of Stratford Ontario just after the war. Design by Waclaw Czerwinski and Hilary Stykolt.
