In the summer of 1983/84, in the long break between my 2nd and 3rd years at University, I worked at Eraring Power Station near Newcastle, as a trainee electrical engineer.
At this time some of the generating units were in production, and some still under construction.

Also we built the Fabric Filters for James Howden.
Nice to see all the photos. There is a picture of a Multicon crane I learnt to drive parked in front of the fabric filters ? It made me cry to see the old P&H.
