As far as i can remember, I left school in July 1971 and started at Churchill's from school. It was summer 1970. My Brother is 12 months older than me and he started 12 months before me, so it must be 1970. Hope that helps.  ;)

Yes i am still hanging in here, your dad interviewed me for my apprenticeship at Churchill's, and my brother before me. He knew my Farther very well, Harold Sadler, and my mum Audrey, sadly no longer with us. I have a slide somewhere of Sid with some apprentices and my brother also called Harold, or Anthony stood in front of a car outside the maintenance dept, think it was something to do with the duke of Edinburgh's award (i think) Sid always looked after us, and i still remember him well. He wasn't someone to be crossed, and you rarely did, but what a nice man.  :)

I worked at Churchill's as an apprentice fitter in 67 then went into the pattern shop. My farther and brother also worked there. My farther was over the maintenance dept and on the door there was a sign saying "impossibilities while you wait, miracles take a little longer.
As a child i want to the Christmas party's and also used to go over the road to the club and watch the boles of a dinner time. The hooter mentioned  in earlier posts, Yes was VERY loud as my bench in the training room was below one of them lol. If you where in the training section does anyone remember Sid Vost sadly no longer with us, He ran this section.
