Tributes

From Ian Gillis:
It's a very long time since I had contact with Tony; I remember him as the "Baddow Boffin" who helped us New St Project Group Systems Engineers with putting together MTI and signal processing systems.

From Alan Matthews:
I can remember his name well so must have had contact with him at Marconi.  I think probably to do with the Marconi Auto Club where I seem to remember him as a very good rally navigator,

From Robin Reynolds:
I first encountered Tony when working on Green Ginger at Earls Croome, one of the RRE test sites in 1962 / 63 as he was responsible for the signal processing. He was often accompanied by Neville Jessop, Gerry Valentine and another chap who's name eludes me. We often went fishing in the evenings in summertime. The only other thing I remember about Tony was that whenever he bought a new car he always removed the hubcaps. As he said when he came to sell it they would be good as new!
