I always thought that the Allied forces confescated all the airgun designs and machinery from M&G and gave it to Milard Brothers on the understanding that they set up a production facility in a deprived area of the UK.
Which is why London based Milard Brothers (Milbro) ended up with an airgun manufactiring plant in Motherwell, Scotland.


I'm sure Danny will be along to correct me if I'm wrong.
