The intention was to show the video during an Alumni event which Colin was unable to attend. Thanks to the idea of making a video, we now have this unique record of his memories of college life from the time he joined Imperial College in 1952. His long time friend Bob Spence is still working at Imperial, even though he's now into his 80's.https://blogs.imperial.ac.uk/videoarchive/files/2014/09/Colin-Vickery-2013.jpg56163744
