[BITList] FM

[David Harvey]

Thanks Colin, I had forgotten the details, I just know there was a certain
amount of hype at the time and I used to wander past the tower as it was
being built, on my way to school. By 1957 I was doing Mate's at Sir John
Cass, or was that "The Grapes" near the back door of the college.
