Just spent a very interesting 3-4 hours there. Lots to see, and almost
certain to be of interest to many posters in this forum. Some very
knowledgeable volunteers there as well.

Cleared up one little thing that had always been beyond my limited
electronics theory from many years ago, pulse-echo time compared to speed
of rotation of the aerial.

Several rooms had that smell of bakelite and varnish used on old equipment,
R1154/R1155 anyone......

Shame it's where it is. Mother worked at TRE (Malvern) during WW2

A *real* centre of excellence. Nnow a well known supermarket - or at
least a public enterprise of some sort - goes by a stupid PR name of
qinetqintiqinttinttiqqiti or something. I knew it was all up when the
the relatively recent boss of the place was actively encouraging
public time sharing on their computers! Sorry OT.

Thought immediately I had posted - someone will think I meant RRE (Royal
Radar Establishment) - but at the time it was Travel Round England.

(Pretty good apologising for being OT in an OT thread. :-) )

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
