[Tech1] A little piece of magic

[Geoffrey Hawkes]

I remember that too and he wasn’t the only one to sit at the back of Pres A gallery between trails but he was among the nicest and most affable.
Of SS’s I remember Gerry Lawrence as his party piece was to do an impression of Derek Nimmo in the role of Noot in All Gas & Gaiters who spoke with a mild stammer. John Hartsorne was another who seemed to be there quite often. What happen to them?

When doing trails, rather than sitting alone in the booth while awaiting the next bit of business, he’d often pop into the control room for a chat and as the sound desk was on the far end of the set up in Pres A, it was often the SS that he would engage in conversation.
