Mr Anderson's Physics classroom when I was there. In the storeroom at the back we were allowed to use the schools new Commodore PET computer, then later a VIC20, and a BBC micro. I remember doing electronics on Activities afternoons here, the Van der Graaf Generator experiment whereby someone had their hand on the generator dome and then lit a bunsen burner with a finger from the other hand, and Robert Bain burying the head of a golf club in the roof. Happy days.

Picture taken in KGS in January 2014 just before the school was handed over for demolition, demolition now in full effect I notice, with Home Economics among the first to be knocked down.

I remember it well. I always thought it was unfair that Mr A was rather angry with Robert after that experiment.

Van der Graaf or van de Graaff?
