Default Wiles Pipework

Hi all - firstly well done on the save. I restored one of these under a Work For The Dole program in 2003. Always being a stickler for originality I had the pipework repainted in the original colours. However some stupid old fart did not like that and threatened to quit the museum if the pipework was not finished in brass as he remembered it in his National Service days. Anyway the committee agreed with him and once again the restoration was incorrect. Anyway I quit that lot as they all had their own agendas and politics.
