The National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE, Farnborough) has been
partially derilict for the last 10 years or so, on that site were an Elliott
803B, SDS9300, DEC PDP-7 and 11-05, and more, I helped maintain them. Tesco
wants to build a 1,000,000 sq ft distribution depot, apparently it will be
one of the biggest buildings in the Uk,.with 1600 38 ton lorry (non
motorway) movements a day, nothing good will come of it. I'd love to get
hold of the PDP7.

Not certain if anyone on the list is aware, but the UK is now exporting this
fine establishment. One of the very first Tesco stores in the US is being
built less than a mile from my house in Laguna Woods. (The huge
distribution centers are already completed.)
Turnabout seems fair play after what we gave the UK - MacDonald's, KFC,
Pizza Hut, etc.
