In this episode, we sit down with John Nichol, a veteran of the Avro Heritage Museum, who shares his remarkable journey from apprentice to facilities manager.

Starting his apprenticeship in 1960, John recounts his experiences working on iconic aircraft such as the Shackleton, Vulcan, and Nimrod.

He reflects on the Avro apprenticeship scheme, his hands-on training, and memorable anecdotes from his early days in the industry, including an incident with a Ford Anglia and the challenges of working during the Cuban crisis. Join us as we explore the rich history of Avro through John's eyes.
