Trismegistus 1 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just to say hello to everyone. I am looking forward to taking part in the various topics on offer. I am retired now and live in the village of Gunthorpe with my wife Anne. I have spent a long career in the electronics and light engineering industry of Nottingham, including Thorn Bendix, Plessey, Dowty Mining, Becorit, Communication and Control Engineering to name a few. Would love to hear from any one who has also perhaps worked at any of these places. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
