My time at Shuttleworth was one of the happiest times of my working life. We had ups and downs, a few jobs in muck spreaders that weren’t much fun, a few students that were a bit of a pain but for 99.99% of the time it was great. My only hope is that some of what I went on about was of use to you at sometime in your working life. Also that you as student might have realised that Mechanisation was a great mine of information (some of it going back a few decades) but the basic skills in and around workshops don’t change that much!

Lastly free transfer to main campus, and I took early retirement 2010 ! Pictures that bring back memories
