RR Griffon engines. was created by IanDDavidson
I am aware that RR Merlins were made by RR at Derby, Crewe, and Hillington (Glasgow)

Others were manufactured under licence by Ford at Trafford Park and Packard in USA.

Have I missed any? Total production was nearly 150'000

I cannot find any reference to Griffon production. Wiki tells me 8108 were made.

Can anyone confirm Griffon manufacturing locations please?

Parallel research unearthed details from a contact at RR Derby.

Griffons were made by RR at Derby, and Ford at their Trafford Park site, in Manchester.
