For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Science Museum - larger exhibits / store, Wroughton, Swindon

I remember the Science Museum in London from many happy and interesting visits as a child. Did you know that they also have a big place in Wiltshire - on the old RAF Wroughton - where some 18,000 to 20,000 exhibits that won't fit in to the London premises are stored.

Four hangars on the aerodrome are open - occasionally - to the public, or for organised groups. Two of them are given over to aircraft exhibits such as the Comet (which would fill the whole aircraft hall at South Kensington) and a third contains a wide variety of other transport vehicles - cars, buses, industrial, agricultural - as seen in the picture above. My thanks to Peter Goodearl for permission to use the picture above (not one of mine for once!) - and he has an excellent gallery of pictures here.

The Science Museum has updated its own site and many links to information about Wroughton ("Swindon") are now broken - but if you want to know more about when it's open [this link works at present].

At Well House Manor - from 12th May 2012 - The Well House Collection - a branch of the Museum of Melksham.
