My apprenticeship 1964-69 was carried out in the Electrical Dept of a large Aluminium Extrusion Factory making parts for Spitfires Hurricanes and various bombers in WW2. My Mentor, the chargehand of the Instrument Dept was a Flight Engineer in Halifax Bombers for which he had pilot training to be co pilot should the pilot be wounded. He learned to fly in Tiger Moths at Elmdon Airfield Birmingham in 1942. He was an ardent fan of Glen Miller, much to the amusement of the younger members of the Department. Like Rock n Roll it was evidently a generation thing. Nothing wrong with that. Well played and produced for the time.
