grinder Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for your reply kevin63 , I was beginning to think there wouldn't be any clues about the other guy in the photo with my Dad . Now I can put a name on the photo album , kind regards David Deecee. I'm the guy in the photo with your dad, spot on Kevin. Maurice Rodgers took several photos that day and I also have the one you have.. Those Potos bring back a lot of good memories of some realy good work mates..

grinder Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I remember being told that during world war two they made the heavy metal supports that kept the bombs apart in side the planes.. A visitor asked one of the machinists what they were for, on being told he asked why they needed so many. He was told that when the bombs were dropped the supports fell away with them, "isn't that dangerous" he asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinder Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Keith.. Your Name rings a bell but can't put a face to it yet, We must have been ships that passed in the night, When I started at Archer road I was on the C4 Reg Warrington was foreman the setters while I was on there where Dennis Smith, Joe Wild, Alan Keyworth, Eric Chapple the ones I can remember off the top of my head... Tommy Barnett got me into the C/G in 64 the squad then were Bert, Harold, George Marsh. Edwin, Stan, Arthur, George Millner .

Name is Alan and I was on the same crew as Bert and George Marsh. I left to work at Harry Milnes Ltd on Handsworh Road about the time that you came into the grinding room. I remember you though. P.S. If you do remember me please don't post my last name on the open forum, I'll pm you when you have enough posts.
