Hugo Gunning:

Hugo Gunning 1933 – 2017, died of septicaemia. John Daines writes “I remember seeing him first in Hartree House, in a lift in 1962 or 63.  Immaculately dressed, he worked on Lector but not an engineer, probably testing.  He subsequently worked with and for me as part of the Commissioning Operators team in Minerva Road.  In early 1968 he came to Winsford for a few weeks to help with testing 4/50’s.

Sometime in autumn 1964 he said one day, “if you want to make some money, Jay Trump will win the Grand National”; and it did.  Hugo was a keen follower of the Turf.  There is an article about Hugo on page 13 of https://issuu.com/tthclondon/docs/london_mission_sep_-_oct_2007 and some super videos at  http://www.red5599.com/Dancehall%202010/hugo.htm “  Hugo was, as his wife writes, a man of many parts, a musician of note, and TV personality.  The above text and two obituaries from family members can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rwldw0cldec2pr/Hugo%20Gunning%20obituary.doc?dl=0
