I remember hearing G2AK on topband or 80m - I think he lived in Sutton Coldfield. I went to the shop a lot in the late 60s. It was always busy with at least three counter staff on Saturdays. I don't know if I ever encountered Mr Young himself. There was a youngish chap serving there who would be kind to enthusiastic schoolboys with a shopping list and throw in the odd roll of hook-up wire, etc. It was very convenient because many buses stopped on Corporation Street.
