mike-s   13 #1 Posted July 3, 2022 .......for the moon landing? As an 11 year old I was at Bents Green school watching it on the school telly, a great big metal contraption on long legs with a surprisingly small b&w screen. Also remember seeing the 'moon rocks' at Abbeydale industrial hamlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lemmy117 Â Â 15 #3 Posted July 3, 2022 I was at Silverdale, similar thing, everyone in the school hall watching a 20" black and white telly! I remember going to see either moon rocks or a capsule at Weston Park museum, but not sure if it was connected with Apollo 11. You are right if did happen overnight, but it was repeated several times during the day I think, I know we watched it in the morning.

johnpm   18 #6 Posted July 16, 2022 My wife was working in the Intensive Care Unit at Northern General. One of the patients came out of sedation & she told him that men had landed on the moon - he said don't be so silly !!!  I was in London on business & saw it in a tv shop window.

Gormenghast   59 #7 Posted July 16, 2022 A Google search says the landing was at 20.17 GMT, and Armstrongs moon walk was at 2.56 GMT.  I remember getting up in the middle of the night to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
