If he was any lower he could have flown THROUGH it if they'd have opened the doors!

Was that Phillips at Groningen? I used to work there sometimes in the 80s, I can't say I noticed any bomb damage.

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Probably, they did say it was in The Netherlands.

This was the factory in Eindhoven, Philips' home office. Operation Oyster, December 6, 1942.

The factory in Groningen wasn't built until 1960. It was part of the Domestic Appliances division, building coffee makers, vacuum cleaners etc.
