Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

In case you missed it, (I did), here is a Link to a scanned copy of the first ever EW printed back in 1960. (wait a few seconds after the initial (splash) page appears for the paper to display)

Interesting stuff the Britts (& others) were up to back then..

Indeed, many happy memories. The advert on p11 shows Solartron, Chessington, Surrey. This is with whom and where I commenced my 4 year apprenticeship after leaving school and continued in my electronic education and work for many, many .......years!!!.
