Hi Keith, I remember you well as the Machine Shop fitting supervisor. I saw Phil Inman before Christmas and he told me that he saw you working in a charity shop in Norton đź‘Źđź‘Ź. Nice to know you are still alive and kicking and doing obviously good work for others. Well done, where have all the years gone ?.
Dave.
Any photo out there of the Sept1954 intake?…I recall making a Perspex frame for mine whilst at the Apprentice School….but alas over the years it has been lost!.I would image not many ex apprentices around now,…but likely some family members..
Interesting picture. Several names I recognise from my Asmores/Davy engineering years when they would be about 10 + years older and found work in a design office. One observation: Hardly a smile to be seen
I wonder why?
Excellent. Does anyone have a copy of Billingham ICI May intake 1955?
They must all be round about my age now but unfortunately l don’t recognise anyone!
Bill Stephenson and Jim Fishburn were also about in my days,1954 onwards, at the Apprentice School….a Nissan Hut then inside factory, near to gate on Belasis Lane.
