Memories of De Havilland

I’ll never forget coming to de Havillands from the shipyards and the motor car industry…you had soap when you went to wash your hands. You had soap! You’d go to the loo in the shipyard, all there was was a trough and a plank along the top with running water…no soap. [At de Havillands] if I went over to the sports club, I could get a shower. I’d never been in a shower before. So it was marvellous to me.
