Hi Phil

Jodrell Bank is only 20 minutes from my house and yet I have only been twice and one of these was with school in the early 1970s. It really is a fascinating place not only did Lovell build the telescope he also planted lots of specimen trees so one of his legacies is an arboretum.

I haven't heard about the gun turret mechanics but it makes sense.

When I was talking to the chap about the moon landings he told me about meeting Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin and how upset they were when accused of taking part in a fake landing, they both were very astounded at how the conspiracy theorists concocted such an elaborate web of intrigue.

Hi Dave

Have you tried the Science Museum in Manchester? I spent many happy hours there when I should have been in lectures…….you should have heard the students complain. Planning to take my grandson this coming half term.

I am very much looking forward to Ellesmere and hoping to go on the Saturday, only ill health, high water or the tax man will keep me away.
