Interesting - but surely Ilford (and possibly other firms) were making roll films and plates in the U.K. by that time.

There would have been no problem with making plates, the problem was the non-availability of plastic film base, both the nitrate used for 35mm cine prints, and the safety film for cine camera film, roll films, the 4" x 5" sheet films then widely used by press photographers,  and the large format sheet films used in aerial reconnaisance cameras. Film base was simply not being manufactured in the UK. 

 

The rather lengthy document at the following link lists all the stuff supplied to the UK under lend-lease. It includes miles of film and film base (as well as thousands of pigeons!).
