Lots of memories especially the Schnider air races my stepdad used
to fly in.

I worked there at DEC CSS group in the 1980's. Amazing building, steel
tubing framework building designed by a naval architect apparently.
Had a good canteen, a branch of Decus and even a branch of Barclays
in the building. Computer services room in glass partitioned area full
of top end Vax machines. Learnt a lot there and a really good bunch
of talented engineers, many of whom went on to success elsewhere.

Worked on a communications controller, BA213 box, PDP11/53 from memory, 
for a well known UK bank. Sad if they have demolished the building.

RIP, Sic Transit Gloria :-(...
