Lane, Wood Green, London. This is where John was to experiment
with his ideas and prove, by accident,that the conventional
scientist's are not always correct. John found that not
everything that goes up has to come down. And not everything that
should stay down, does so. The proof was clear for all to see,
including an unsuspecting landlady. The gaping hole in the
ceiling and the roof were things that the Luftwaffe had failed to
do earlier.
PROFESSOR SEARL'S WORKING C.V., FROM 1946
ONWARDS

BR Rewinds at Grays In Road, London. Tasks included
stripping, rewinding and repairing all components of

trainee nurse at Shenley Hospital, on the wards. Within a
month was promoted into the laboratory to study Histology
and Bacteriology. Within 2 months John had won a 6 year
grant to study in Neurosurgery at Cambridge but this fell
through due to John's guardian's refusal to assign the
hospital as John's guardian, for the six year period.
From this point on, with an aspiring medical career
shattered, John became interested in cinema projection,
from a technical viewpoint. John soon had a job as the
trainee projectionist at Woodford Bridge and then at
Ilford. Fortunately the manager was a ham operator and
John was introduced to this field. This career move was
also interrupted by an envious Guardian and so John moved
to the Midlands to set up on his own. |
