When were you at Warwick? What did you study? Who were you your tutors?
September 1965 – September 1968 (graduated in 1969). Dr Julian Hunt, now Lord Hunt of Chesterton, and Professor at Cambridge was one year ahead of me in his MHD research and was a great tutor and friend during my stay

Do you have any fond memories?
Many fond memories:

1. Doing research at the old Bristol Siddeley works in Coventry with holes in the roof and birds flying around. In their own way the birds were reliving the old bombing attacks on Coventry with Julian and I as potential targets!!
2. Attending Benjamin Britten’s “War Requiem,” with Benjamin Britten himself conducting, in the then new Coventry Cathedral, and many other personal anecdotes

What are you doing now?
I am doing some sporadic engineering and management consulting, but basically I am a full-time writer
