The Prof. He was not a strange strange man. I had the pleasure of being present when we told him of the possibility of a wide band aerial introducing noise. And asked for his help. I was also present at a leaving party for Alan Turing. He welcomed every one. I think you should try to contact any one who is still alive who knew him. At least it would prove or disprove my observations. My phone number is 01584 781 301 My kind regards, Robert Painter HI Richard Dawkins,
