    Interesting side note, which will not be 100% accurate but hopefully have some validity. Thru a quick conversation with a friend in the UK, a woman, I mentioned to her that I had been shooting my "Bren" gun with WWII ammo and the factory was in Leeds. She is in Yeadon, near Leeds. Batley is a town near Bradford, also near Leeds. I think it would have been the Greenwood & Batley manufacturing concern, had a large factory near the airport (or airbase for WWII) and the roof was covered in grass and cardboard cows, to fool the Germans. Well, the company is still in business, and they are an engineering concern, having made hydraulic pumps, small train engines, other sorts of go gear...they are STILL IN BUSINESS! I wonder if they have any of their WWII ammo on display on the lobby?
