When Kettering Grammar School tracked Soviet satellites
Back in the 1960s, Kettering Grammar School was celebrated for its tracking of Scoiet satellites.
Click on the still above to watch a 1966 television report on the school's activities.
I recognise the school buildings because I used to play in the annual Kettering chess tournament there a decade later, but they have since been demolished.
C4 did an excellent drama / doc on the story. See part 1 on Youtube
