Very sad but I guess he had a very long innings as they say
I remember going on a school trip to Jodrell Bank around 1964 when I was still at junior school and everyone was very excited - really ground breaking technology at the time _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

Absolutely Becky - I drive past the place fairly regularly and I never cease to marvel at the cutting edge technology involved which is still relevant today and I say that as not really a very technically skilled person _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

It is a fantastic sight when you drive past and a the same from up above. When you take off from Manchester airport your flightpath is often over Jodrell.
