Wonder if we ever met? I was at Southall in 1967 then to Malta and Tripoli. Came home and after a year at Oxford I was incarcerated at Heathrow for 20 years and then the last ten at West Drayton. I retired at 58 in 2002. I loved ATC but could never wait to get home to my beloved wife. I had 12 work-free years with her until she died so don't spend the rest of your days working because you never know what's round the corner.
Best wishes
