Mr K-Why(?!)
I was interested in this story because of an early involvement with the crab - my old man gave me lots of precision engineered bits from several he picked up in a scrappies in the late '50s, thereby allowing me to have a very posh Meccano set..I still have some brass gears somewhere..
Later he told me how he had trained 'under the hood'.

Couldn't agree more, but I think the ATC place went out of use in the early '70s, I'll check the location - sort of recognised the hut exterior - maybe they weren't that bothered about museums then...
