articled to Ronald Atkin, a partner in a firm of accountants at a wage
of twenty-six shillings per week. He spent two years with them
travelling the country with a senior doing audits, but found the long

January 1954 he was accepted in the Royal Corps of
Signals and was posted to Hong Kong where he spent two years as service
engineer with radio. He was invited to stay on as an instructor but said

working as radio engineer for a local shop he got tired of clambering
about on roofs fitting aerials. He left and rented a small shop, bought
a small van and set up as television engineer with one man as assistant.
