Apprentice at DeHavilland Propellers, Lostock Bolton. Entry year 1955. David Pye is to the left of me in the photograph of the full intake for 1955-1956. https://www.dhaetsa.org.uk/dhaets/documents/103294_lostock_apprentice_photos.pdf I moved, to complete my apprenticeship, to Farnworth for 2 years then to Hatfield (Manor Road) for the final 2 years. Such a wonderful scheme to learn every aspect of design, development and manufacture of engineering projects.

Lovely memories of my dad, Gordon Edgerley Davies, one of the first intake of apprentices in 1946.
