Rip Kirby and Dave James at the transmitting station.   In those days any chap with the surname Kirby was called 'Rip' after the newspaper cartoon strip character.   He was a GWM and always looked happy.   This may have been because he had met a generous German girl.   He seemed to know a lot of Spanish but I knew no Spanish at that time I don't know if he was fluent.   I know very little about Dave James except he was either a telephone operator or a direction finder operator working on the station 'homer' - Feb54.   (Thanks to Dick Endecott)
