    Thanks for posting that. After a simple search I was able to find a picture and brief biography of Don Weighton, the head of their Space Electronics Division. I got to know him a bit in the mid-1970s, but had no idea he had worked on pacemakers or
    bomb fuses before that.

    Blimey! i started work there around 1969 IIRC!


    Remember those TX's they were for the SHAPE organisation remember being
    told that they were for use after a Nuclear war!!

    Not a bad place to work there but i fell foul of the management namely
    Bilko Burton and George Hickson George being all about Irish politics
    and remember Manni Shelton the MD!. Became a good friend of John
    Finchham who was on TX test.

    Left there to join the domestic side good experience anyway!..

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.

    Give him a keyboard, and he will reveal himself.
