Heck -- you were at Battersea...? I guess I beat you by a little (:-)) When I was there (in Control Engineering) it was still BISRA! No computers there (though quite a bit of digital -- everything through valves, transistors, to uniselectors!); Park Lane HQ had a Pegasus.
Dunno if I'm the champ in computer memory, too, but I did my first real programming on a PDP-8 with *8K* of 12-bit words! It was a great day when we got a disk with -- I think -- 256K.
