I used to deliver sheets of glass there a few years ago for their building maintenance dept. Never saw the inmates & the security would put Fort Knox to shame ! Awful atmosphere all over the place.

mitch1 is correct about the location Terry. -
I passed on the map, pic & some of the comments to my uncle and he's written back, he's 94, lives alone and I don't think he writes many letters but he does have a style & a sense of humor. I think his letter is well worth sharing so I hope you'll agree? pc screenshot

Couldn't stand the taste of Stera milk on its own but my gran used to make cracking rice puddings with it.

The 1968 bus strike was over a claim of £1 per week pay rise ! Nottm City Council refused to pay so the bus crews had a strike every Saturday. Eventually NCC gave in to the bus crews demands after city shop keepers offered to pay the pittance of a rise themselves ! I worked with many crews who took part in the strike.

You were a brave man to jump from 900 feet. I presume the parachute opened before you hit the ground.
-
Oh yes, I remember it well. That first jump on the parachute course from that tethered balloon raised to 900 ft. then singly from the door way, then 7 more all different exits from the old 'Dakota's taking off from Upper Heyford and jumping at Weston on the Green. We were billeted at Middleton Stoney midway between the two and when marching to one or the other we sang songs of the ilk "they scraped him off the tarmac like a lump of strawberry jam" etc All for 2/6 per day! create image url

Yes I found it on YouTube but the engine wasn’t visible. It was a dragster really!

Leave Home
-
I wonder if like me any member went back to the house they lived in years before?..I could not believe how small the house was..certainly had to be broadminded..wash and toilet timetable was pretty basic! We were the last to move out...as we refused Clifton, Aspley and St.Anns. I regret i never lifted our street sign. When i visit Nottingham now..i nip and have a look, as little bits still exist. Was it me ?...the politics regarding the privvy..you weren't supposed to chat to next door when 'engaged'.

Read up on the late Mick Hill of Derby. In the early 70s he was building monster BRDC racing cars. From humble beginnings with a Janglia. He once put a 430 hp Gurney Weslake V8 in a Capri and not surprisingly won a lot of races, it was replaced by a 6 litre Capri. http://mickhill.net/career/4592694274
