    You're right, Barry, I had in mind the original plans when mentioning the Vickers, and had fotgotten about the Brownings.

    The explosive rounds, which were technically cannon shells, were indeed a novelty in the Second WW, and the Luftwaffe also made use of them in 1940.

    In the same 1940, the Luftwaffe completely destroyed the two main Spitfire factories in Southampton; but by that time most production was already carried out in unspecified locations.
