Fitzy was fairly old when I was there... I never made it to sea either - did the City and Guilds and went to work with Pye.Last edited by cogito; 04-11-2012, 01:34 AM.Everything is self-evident.

Memories. Light the corners of my mind , the way we were
1970 so full of ambition, going to sea , making big dollors , it all disapeared during the Suez crises and the introduction of the transitor , we were scholed in valves , they never told us they were obsolete .
But it served me well here in Oz , got a job with Philips on the strenght of Atlantic, never looked back

The funny thing is - transistors have been and gone since too - ones you can see anyhow... and to be honest - so have radio technicians... or at least those who carry an Avo meter and soldering iron... nowadays it's just a laptop...
And Radio Officers on ships... they probably have an app on their Samsungs that replaces everything we learned...Everything is self-evident.

I never figured out my anodes from cathodes - though I gave them healthy respect after melting a few screwdrivers looking for dry solder joints...
