Sad news. RIP.

Worked with him 1978 to 1982.
Great man to be on shift with at the London Weather Centre in High Holborn.
Also remember attending a wonderful party at his house after a cricket
match.
Quite a character to be fair, and actually very clever too, he certainly
knew his stuff!
Best shift was when we all made cricket bats out of fax roll holders and
balls out of mashed up fax paper tied up with rubber bands. I forget who won
:-)
