HiYa Cresta,
All the best from me, old mate (same course !), we have got a lotta catching up to do. Save a space for me and my zimmer, still two years to go (which makes 40 at the sharp end).
xx to Da Management.
Clocks Off,

Yo Pedro! As the one who gave you your "handle" back in '89 may I wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement.
I too remember your work with the BBC ordinateur and those evenings after CATC at the "other place". As alluded to above, the govt prevented you and I reducing the rabbit numbers (and stocking my freezer) on the EGHH north side.
Good days all of them and I would not have missed any of it.
Oh dear!!
PS wasn't that a really heartwarming photo of himself that Red Frog posted?

Loki I think those tales of ghosts were just to spook the gullible. Redbrae was fairly modern but Orangefield House, which incorporated the tower, dated from the 17 century, and was probably a better candidate,
Unfortunately, those who would remember this have mostly passed away.

It was before even my time, but I remember many stories being told about it on night duties, including one about a pilot , instructed to report to the tower after landing, who, unable to find the entrance, climbed up the outside of the building and knocked on the glass.

Will never forget your line on standard coordination during a demo we were doing to students -
"I'll go round the back with my Virgin".
Have a very long and happy retirement.
Hope you'll be putting those Vietnam jabs you had to good use - at last!
