About 6 mths before they stopped making shotguns I visited the W&S factory and Pat Whattley took us round. He was a mine of information and I think if you had cut him in half he would have had W&S running right through him like a stick of rock. It was a great day out and so sad when they closed as there was so much craftsmanship tied up in their workforce to produce such great guns. I guess it was the same story that affliced the whole of the British gun trade - they survived longer than most.
