Yep India Four Two has explained why...not sure if you've read the Oral history in the OP but it's explained there...
John H was for some time deputy to the legendary Chris Kraft, the man who defined the role of Flight Director, so he was a major player in the very early days of Mission Control..but (and as he says in the interview and as also get mentioned in Gene Krantz's bio) he fell out with the boss - TBF a few people got on the wrong side of Kraft- and it could be career ending..John H got let off lightly with a move sideways..
Top of my head a couple other notable Brits..
