I served my time as an apprentice there from 1964 to 1969 finished up on maintenance in the main workshops .two guys in that first year had one 'o' level .One year later the intake of apprentices had 90plus 'o'levels between them.
I can remember it well from the old engine test house to the new one, the metal electroplating unit ,down by the main road,the tank testing ground going underneath the Bailey bridge.
Hi Allan,
I realise that this was posted some time ago but I wonder if you might still be able to help me. I am a Solicitor representing the family of a gentleman who died from asbestos-related cancer as a result of his exposure to asbestos whilst employed at COD Chilwell. He was employed as a mechanical fitter working on the military vehicles and was exposed to asbestos used in the make-up of items such as clutches and brakes. I am trying to collect further evidence about this and wonder whether you might be able to contribute. If so I would be very pleased to hear from you. My email address is helena.cameron@oliverandco.co.uk.
