I've often wondered what it is that Henderson's Engineering does - they have a small factory on the edge of Hay, near the doctors' surgery, and precision engineering is a term that could be used to describe all sorts of equipment. Today I saw a story from the Brecon and Radnor Express saying that they are helping to deal with the pandemic by making test equipment and equipment for oxygen supplies.
The managing director, Rob Henderson, also said that the company had made parts for Merlin and Griffon engines during the Second World War, which I hadn't known. Merlin engines powered Spitfires, of course - the sound of a Merlin engine is unmistakeable - and the bigger Griffon engine was used on aircraft like the Fairey Firefly and the Shackleton as well as in some Spitfires.
