Yes that’s him. Not sure of his local pronunciation of Hunst’n where an early listening station was set up to look over the North Sea and take very accurate bearings. I guess other stations may have been on line to triangulate.

When it comes to writing post war history I fear the information in the archives will not be available. I know when EWAU moved to Waddington lots was thrown away. Including all the 90 Gp mircrofilm drawings. Then when they closed the lot went. I tried to recover some Falklands era stuff to support a paper I was writing. All the files had been destroyed.
