Britain's oldest working engineer has finally retired after 75 years with the same firm - and was given a SPANNER as a leaving present.
Bryan Webb, 90, began working for Vauxhall in 1946 after walking into his local garage Hough & Whitmore in Gloucester.
He asked if they had any jobs and four years later he completed his mechanical apprenticeship and by 26 was a workshop foreman.
Bryan has now finally set down his tools - but was presented a ceremonial spanner by colleagues on his last day.
