JR tight fisted? Don't believe it, but then he never used the LATCC canteen. always bringing his own sandwiches and flask. The other 'D' men made sure he always did 'DO' on night shifts (in Mediatior stage 1/2) and Sector 20/23 in Stage 1 , so they didn't need to talk to him unless they had to (or maybe that was just to stop him doing radar which was done from Sopley up to about '74). A couple of years later, before we heard he'd been admitted to Frimley Park after a heart attack, I read an article in some magazine by him, telling how he'd moved into a house which had a telephone installed, but he didn't want a telephone and had a devil of a job getting BT to remove it, eventually cutting the wires and leaving it on his doorstep and telling them to collect it (must've phoned them from work)
