I used to work on the site of the old DeHavilland factory at Burnt Oak. It was mainly taken over by BT International until the mid 80's , and there were two halves to the site: Mollison Unit and DeHavilland Unit. At the time I was an apprentice, they also had an on-site works bar, "The Amy Johnson Bar". The road down the side, Mollison Way was the original landing strip.
My good grammar school had a Westrex Teletype and an acoustically coupled modem and a paper tape writer/reader with a dial up link to the City of London Polytechnic.. HP FREE SY FREE WHICH COMPUTER HP OR SY?
A few years later I managed to obtain a PO 62-type rack mounted modem which had to have the correct cards strapped to give your required settings (7-bit, 8-bit etc., 50/110/300/1200-75,etc). Great fun with the Dragon32.
Eebagum.
