    John Birkett, G8OPP 30th April 2022

    John owned one of the last surplus electronics shops at 25 The
    Strait, Lincoln called simply J Birkett. Opened in 1960, John
    supplied generations of radio amateurs with hard to get radio
    components. If you visited the shop you could find a vast range of
    new and secondhand equipment, including
    vintage/military/commercial/amateur radios, wireless and test []


    Many an interesting trip to Lincoln, mail order and rallies to buy
    "Birkett Specials".
