Prize Certificate 1972

Perhaps the first recognition of his interest in the sciences.  Nelson Kruschandl reveals seeing the above Prize Certificate brings back fond memories of Ratton Secondary School near Eastbourne in East Sussex. Especially of his Physics master, Mr Henderson, English master Mr Mansell, Math tutor Mr Campbell and his early draughting lessons with Mr Rippengal. 

We're sure they'd be pleased to know that their efforts resulted in some quite extraordinary projects. The certificate is signed by the Headmaster, Peter Morrell with thanks to all his teachers, classmates and Sir Sidney Caffyn for the encouragement they gave Nelson. It was surely that encouragement that eventually led to the Blueplanet Ecostar project. From little acorns frames of steel and ally grow.
