John 'Popeye' Davies

The Old Boys of the Wireless College Colwyn Bay announced yesterday that John 'Popeye' Davies died very recently.

A lecturer who did his best to instill in us the telegraphist's trade (with the frequent admonishment of "The boy Scouts I drill in the Summer Holiday's have better Morse than you lot") and, after the college's closure, an R/O at Portishead. He will have carried the traffic for many of you to and from your loved ones.

A decent chap.
