The plaque remains a good rich colour with some crazing of the varnish finish and two small nail holes the reverse but otherwise a great pre 1918 plaque (On 11 September 1918, the company amalgamated with Richard Hornsby & Sons of Grantham to become Ruston and Hornsby Ltd). In World War 1, the Ruston company made around 2,750 aeroplanes and 3,000 aero engines. The 1000th Sopwith Camel (B7380), built at the plant in 1917, was named "The Wings of Horus". Ruston's built around 1,600 Sopwith Camels, 250 Sopwith 1½ Strutters, and 200 Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2s. One of the directors, Frederick Howard Livens, had a son who was an army officer on the front line.
