Old Honda Site In Swindon Being Demolished

Not fishing related but my 1st drone video upload. So I spent nearly 30yrs of my life working for honda in Swindon. Now the site after nearly 3yrs of closure is under demolition. Quite sad really!!

Such sad times to see a big part of your working life place gone. So pleased to see you back on the channel mate. I'm no fisherman but it was the banter and comradery of you, Maff and the lads that kept me sane through lockdown for which i'll be eternally gratefull God bless you .

I working in paint yes, but spraying was all robots. I worked in mix room looking after the paint and the systems
