SIR BERNARD LOVELL (1913-2012)
With regret we have news of the death of Sir Bernard Lovell at the age 
of 98. He was the founder of Jodrell Bank Observatory which many of you 
will have visited from time to time to see the world-famous Lovell Radio 
Telescope. This telescope was completed in 1957 and is the third largest 
steerable telescope in the world.
Bernard Lovell was knighted in 1961, and was director of Jodrell Bank 
from 1945 to 1980. He was a true leader in the field of radio astronomy.
