      There's a "Sir Bernard Lovell" school where I used to live. I never went there though. It was crap.

      edit: But he was a visionary and an example to us all. RIP.

        The link on that page to a 2008 interview is well worth a read too:

        KGB wanted Sir Bernard Lovell to defect

          Did they feed him lots of curry then?

            Well with observatory at Jodrell Bank he could see a bit further than the rest of us...

            We need more people like Sir Bernard, only not dead!
