Thanks for looking, but this is not "our" John Palmer. There is a brief resume on his Wirksworth website: "Rosie and I live in a small bungalow in a village near Poole in Dorset, England. I was born in the Blitz in London in 1940, moved to Worksop Notts, schooled at Retford Grammar, then back to London Uni as a student of Physics. Worked on the supersonic Harrier project, got sick of London, moved to Dorset in 1966 and bought the bungalow two years later. I worked for Plessey as an electronics and software engineer, and learned to drive computers. Rosie trained as a nurse, worked in Texas, went round the world three times as a children's nanny on an immigrant liner, then became a Scientific Officer at Winfrith atomic research centre in Dorset. We took early retirement in 1990, we've no children so we took the opportunity to travel. I was able to give up my career and take up my hobbies.
