Looks like we were on parallel lives, we also had a chop late 60s, next you'll tell us you were at Armour and Embarkation too..

Well, we have probably met in a former life. I was full time there between 1977 and 1984. The place over the road was Read's. Jack MoTed my Cub in 1968. It was raining, so he stood in the doorway and looked at it whilst filling out the form

124 Langthorne Road. I used to work there on Saturdays, sorting spares, from about 1970 when I was at college. A good source of cheap parts for my AJS, since I never got paid, other than in kind, so to speak
Mat, AKA Fee, ended up with most of the stock, and still sells on eBay from deepest, darkest, Kernow.
