Default Heads up for BBC Wales TV viewers

On the 6:30 regional TV news there's going to be an interview between
Derek and a gentleman who has supplied met data to the MO for the past
50 years - from somewhere on the Gower. His equipment looked pretty
decent.

Cheers
James

Sounds like John Powell from Penmaen. Known to several
of us on here.

yes indeed, looks like he is retiring from the work he has so thoroughly
done for so long. Some interesting comments on this site:
