Early radio listening in the family began with a retired Royal Navy engineer who enjoyed electrical experiments and homemade equipment. His experiments blew up a barn once or twice. He later advised Royal Navy radio establishments informally because he could build the equipment they needed. The Navy called on him again during the Second World War, long after his uniformed service had ended.
