A ripe age.

A scientist who looked like a scientist should look. With an accent to suit.

Saw him and, if my memory serves, Eric Laithwaite, in Summer 1976 (The HOT one!) at Preston Guildhall, presenting a hugely enjoyable Lecture on how everything in science and engineering stems from phenomena and materials that exist in nature.

Yes what a great mentor he was I used to love his lectures he had a knack of bringing science to life instead of it being some boring task
RIP Heinz
