By co-incidence I also know three of the organs that they were making pipes for !!!!

(There used to be the most amazing Govt surplus shop in Pudsey in the dip between Leeds & Bradford - when I was a youngster I got all sorts of things to play with - lenses prisms, WW1 black out candle lamps (slit on front) - best  of all, when I was recovering having put my eye out as a 5 year old, father (who who's office was in Bradford) brought me home a 'play tent' made from WW2 parachute silk. It survived long enough for my kids to play in it and it was bought in 1954 !!!! )

Hi Andrew, I was born in 1952, at a place called Moorhouse place (now known as Delph end) on the outskirts of Pudsey and I remember that shop because my dad was always in it, but I can't remember whether it was an Army and Navy or was called something like "the bazaar". Happy days.
