I started my working life in the apprentice training school at Capmartin Road September 1960 as an apprentice maintenance electrician.
I transferred to Canley works in January 1961. I saw the first and last cars to come off the rocket range, it was called the New Assembly Hall then, it became the Rocket Range later. When Canley stopped production I transferred to Fletch North where the Experimental Department was. I stayed at Canley when it became the main Experimental Department. When it finally closed I transferred to Gaydon and finally left the company in the summer of 2000, just 4 months short of 40 years service.
