aussie 94 yes he spoke very highly of you and terry and I think there was another one or two others?? who he lunched with who gave him a sugary drink when his diabetes played up. George Redmond was the chargehand and wasn't Fred Makin the foreman in 6 or 7 bay and and Alf Donaldson the other one, all were gentlemen and real characters.
I think you might have been in the very first intake at the apprentice training school if you were the same age as bill trowbridge or the year or two after if you followed Kevin into the Navy as I recall Kevin Hinigan being in our year (1963/64) as well as Alan Turner of Shims tinfoil fame who worked in bottom shop with me and Michael Morgan, David Birchall et al who worked in 6,7 and 8 bays.
It was a great place to serve your time as a fitter, turner, boiler maker and tinsmith. Do you remember Ted Causey in the tinsmith department who clad everything that didnt move with stainless steel.
