John Magill gave a fascinating talk and 'tour' around the many different places he has worked starting with Marconi in Stanmore. We followed the evolution of these companies including (but not limited to) the British Aircraft Corporation to BAE Systems via British Aerospace as well as Marconi, GEC and the European aerospace corporation, Airbus. Hertfordshire has played a major role in hosting these companies and we also enjoyed a brief foray into Cambridge and Chicksands in Bedfordshire with an excellent range of slides illustrating the journey.
