So the report was written by Col. Millard, and the machinery went to Milbro (Millard Brothers)??????? Must be a co-incidence I'm sure. OUCH!! Just bit my tongue in my cheek.

As an aside, when I worked for LH in the early 80s, there were loads of Dianas which had a grey finish on the metalwork. They were Meyer & Grammelspach. The finish was almost "Gritty" and someone told me it was phosphate. Can anyone cast further light?
