Once upon a time in the '70'S in WirelessWorld...........

This is a Q for those of a certain generation, in the UK, who read Wireless World mag, which was the best electronics mag ever!
Sometime in the 70's there was a construction project for an MSF radio controlled, digital clock.  I'm trying to determine which year and months of Wireless World those articles were in? 
I recall reading it in awe of the ambition and complexity of the project, they even made the PCB's available to constructors via an associated company. However, it was for the time a very expensive project, using all discreet 74 series logic, and I was young at without the means to afford it.
In a blatant nostalgia way I would now like to find the series and build the clock, so if anyone can help I would be so grateful.

Interesting to hear that i am not the only one having nostalgia projects on the bench now which i could not afford back then when i was a teen  and then a uni student  :-+

Why buy a £3 module when you could build a monstrosity instead.
