Hi Chris
Thanks for that, it was a very enjoyable read as well as a pleasant trip down memory lane!
I remember being glued to the TV as the BBC and ITV (UK TV stations) broadcast all the exciting news about Apollo. (Sir) Patrick Moore was absolutely in his element as a lead member of the BBC Team.
I made scale models of the Saturn V rocket and the LEM – both plastic Airfix™ kits, which I displayed at school at the request of our history teacher, who was also an Apollo junkie.
In the mid-seventies, I worked for Marconi Space & Defence Systems on the Maritime Orbital Test Satellite (MAROTS) and the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) as well as Spacelab (an ESA project), so I was able to continue my love for space and earn a living!
Cheers
Dennis
