hi, folks! after a long absence due to worldy pressures, im back at the the helm again!
continuing with our talk about ex-EMI engineers, here are some more chaps i recall during my time there:
Roger Warnet
Cyril Heard
Ron Sparks
Alan Swallow
Ted Boucher
Jag (Singh)
John Gilbert
Phil Armstrong
Dave Bhatnagra
Mike Warner
Hugo Pow
Steve Read
all these guys worked on the Searchwater radar system; alan swallow was the much-feared, much-maligned (rightly or wrongly!) manager; ted boucher was another much-maligned director; hugo pow was a relative newcomer, but due to his fast-talking expertise, soon became our senior and tried telling us how radar worked (before EMI, he was a rock singer!!); steve read was a great chap initially, very talkative, but somehow suddenly flipped a few months later and always kept very quiet for the rest of the time he was at EMI (he eventually left EMI and moved up north to work on the scottish oil rigs).
if any of these guys are reading this, please get in touch by leaving a message or comment here...none of the above comments should be taken personally!
