Accles & Pollock, Oldbury

My mother-in-law will be celebrating her 100th birthday this year and there are a few thoughts going on at the moment to celebrate this really special day.
When she was 15yrs old she started working at Accles & Pollock as a welder and worked in the welding business until her retirement. Now, when she worked at A & P during World War 2, she has told us many many times that she did some welding there for the Spitfires. Me and hubby have searched on the internet, found quite a lot of info on A & P, but we still can't find any mention of A & P doing any work for these aeroplanes. Hubby has also phoned A & P and explained what we would like to know and they are getting back to us.
Is there anybody out there who can help us out on this please?
