@jpm funny you mention . μWave, I had the chance to meet this fella, early 90s in Adelaide.

For reasons unbeknown it fell through, it would have been cool to talk about his time with Rutherford at the Cavendish Lab Cambridge; Asked some Q’s on the Cavity Magnetron pointed at Axis aircraft; MAUD, U235 and the nuclear program.

I’m sure there were no qualms firing a 10cm beam on enemy aircraft but Oli would have cautioned pointing RF at bike riders.
