My dad was best friends with Tom Baker, he was always round our house when I was younger. My dad was called Jack Birtwistle and was also a superintendent. I also served my apprenticeship at English Electric as an Aircraft Fitter and worked on the Machine Tool Overall (MTO). When he died he left his engineering technical manual to my dad which he passed on to me. They use to go drinking in the Grey Horse pub and the Marlbourgh club and I think they played cricket together for English Electric.
