When doing my Phase 3 (1976/7) William Muir was then head of the Ph 3 department in the new workshop block. Used to stick his head around the classroom door at lunchtime when we were in electrotech and give a nod and a wink to the lecturer (Patterson?) and that was it, off to the Clelland. We then followed at a discrete distance! (Thumb)

I was a year behind you for ph 3 (1997/8) and remember such a scenario occuring on several occasions! Great teachers though - done it all and seen it all. Times had changed by the time I got on the high seas on supertankers and was lucky to see land during a voyage!! Think old Bill is still with us?

I did my phase 3 at GCNS in 1977, and can remember him, and of course the famous electrical lecturer Mr Paterson. Was a great year, and brings me back many happy memories.
