I did not work in ISTC at Paddington but I did work in the building from 1975 to 1991 and these photos did bring back a few memories and a few names:
- Tony Batoni
- John Hodgson
- Jack Creswick
- Neville Farrar
- Phil Ryan
- Peter Skinner
- John Newlyn
- Jack Orton
- Chris Stanley
- Ian Campbell
How many others can you remember?
