Evesham TO 11
Dave Mundy
Here’s a nice picture of two aspiring Technical Operators from TO11 in 1961, the one on the left is Peter Copeland who became Head of Sound Conservation at the British Library and sadly died in 2006 (see Wikipedia for details) and on the right is ‘Chillie’ Inglis from Edinburgh. I think I saw Chillie’s name on a recent item about the BBC in Edinburgh. If the mic. is a 4033, might be set to omni or figure-of-eight of course!

This is our TO course – can’t remember the number.
Back row L-R: Pete Hider?, Mike McCarthy, Pat Heigham, ?, Ian Perry.
Centre L-R: Ian Ridley, Julian Clapham, John Lopes, John Henshall, John Sandiford.
Bottom L-R: Mike Thomas?, Paul Salinger, Chris Glass, Frank Smith, name escapes, name escapes.
At Paul Salinger’s 21st birthday party, he had laid on live music with a small band or group.
Paul was on STO (Tel.) 20 with Dave Mundy, Ian Ridley, Keith Williams, Steve Chilver, Stuart Lindley, Ian Perry and Keith Swadkins (missing from the photo!) among many others. I understand he returned to Israel.

Here’s a photo I took of Paul Salinger in TC5 Crew Room with Reg Poulter and Harry Kicks on 16 March 1964.

John Henshall
All these memories about Evesham.
Until now, all I could remember was that I slept with Pat Heigham during STO13.
Pat used to tell me bedtime stories about how difficult it was to keep the boom out of shot when he worked on John Logie Baird’s 30-line transmissions, because the picture was vertical and so had much more headroom. And how he worked on the first high-definition television transmission from AP on 2 November 1936, starring Adele Dixon.
Or was it all just a dream?
I should perhaps make it clear that we did have separate beds and always stayed in them.
Pat Heigham
Now I remember sharing a room, but was that on the TO course?
I’m now puzzled, the photo is of a few folks, so probably was the STO course. Would we have been billeted in the same old block?
I recall doing a stereo course and staying in the new rather better accommodation.
TC5 – CETO

We were all on Crew 4 working on an extremely boring CETO prog in TC5.

I was trying to identify the newspaper – from the comic strips it could be the “Daily Express”?

The “Daily Express” main strip was the spaceman “Jeff Hawke” and it doesn’t appear to match the drama strip with the woman here. Jeff Hawke often didn’t have a huge amount of Hawke visible.
The “Daily Mirror” has always been a tabloid (and Wikipedia agrees so it must be true).
It could be the “Daily Mail”. The Mail was a broadsheet in 1964. Another thought, it could be a Sunday paper as the photo was taken on a Monday.
Geoff Fletcher, John Howell (Hibou)
Alan(?) had handed the mixing desk over to Neil Sadwick.

Alan Machin
Good to see a photo of Neil Sadwick. “Blackadder II” was the last series I remember him doing as Sound Supervisor. He was terrific in helping to organise and DJ-ing those huge Christmas dances down at Hammersmith Palais in the early 1970s.
Geoff Fletcher
The photo belowwas taken in mine and Dave Jorgensen’s grotty flat off Ealing Common on 12 February 1964 – Dave Thomson I believe.

I found this photo taken around 1975 in TC7, but I can not identify the cameraman. I was swinging the mole that day.
