I'm too young to remember, but it seems the UK calculator of choice was the Sinclair http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/sinclair1.html

This article is much like the US rather than the UK history where we had a separate, home grown path. I think I am the last generation to have a legendary calculator in the Casio FX 82A. Nowadays computers have taken over.

My dad, who went to Uni in the '70s to do maths and physics, has a Sinclair scientific that looks very similar except has blue LED digits. I don't know the exact model.
