  • RIP Sir Bernard Lovell

    What a great man- and an internationally-renowned arboriculturalist too!

    I grew up not far from Jodrell Bank Observatory- (lots of happy and inspiring memories)

    Good age though- he's seen a few descoveries in science during his life!

    He had a few words to say to 'our class' on a school trip to Jodrell Bank. Must be about 54- 55 years ago now ! ! !

    Got me interested in the stars and planets.


    Cheers, Tony.

      A truly great pioneer and if only 'they' (tptb) were allowed to tell ALL that had been observed.

      RIP - a great man.

        You lucky thing. I grew up in North Staffs and would have loved a trip to Jodrell Bank to see the 'Lovell' telescope.

          Both he & Patrick Moore are much admired by wifey,though he is gone his legacy will remain for all time
          He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame
