I'll excuse you that ;-) (tho the article is non technical).

Thanks for incorporating the changes, the whole thing reads well. I
guess Manley will always be remembered as the ' CET man ', despite the
Dun fell period.
The reason why I was so keen on the helm wind point is that I think
Manley probably belongs to that tradition in British
meteorology/hydrodynamics, (many trained at Cambridge), whose knowledge
was based in practice/engineering/observations but made fundamental
theoretical contributions based on such, eg. Richardson, G I Taylor,
............

Really, somebody shld write a biography of Manley...........
