Born at Walthamstow, but his father’s business moving to Hull, so most of the earlier years of his life were spent on the Humber.
Educated at Hymer’s School, where no doubt he gained much of the scientific and mathematical knowledge which has proved so useful to him in his work of tuning internal combustion engines.
