I first met Jim when I joined the staff at Heaton Park Radio Station, where he was a rota TO. in the late 1960’s. He left to become an instructor at Didsbury training school, and I was a student on his very first basic transmission course when he was being assessed for the job. Many years later he was one of the first friendly faces I saw when I was promoted to management in St Andrews House. We were both working in the NOU in York Street when he retired. He often joked to me that he had been teaching me from day one. Gentleman Jim...RIP. Mike Dalton.
