That’s all for now. I don’t know if any of the above are of use to you at all. I would be grateful for any information you could send me or pointers to personal information you could give me concerning my father. I didn’t know him too well as he died when I was 11 yrs old
Incidentally, the discs are now in London as my daughter has transported them to Greenwich.

Hope to hear from you one day
