The Sinister Death Of 26 Marconi Scientists In The UK
There have been at least 26 mysterious deaths of people who worked for GEC-Marconi (the defence arm of GEC) on the Sting Ray torpedo project between 1982 and 1988. The death of the British defence journalist Jonathan Moyle, who was found hanged in his Santiago hotel room on April 1, 1990, has also been the subject of speculation as being connected to the Marconi deaths.
Most incidents occurred after the men have successfully completed important projects or left one job for another.
Four of the dead men were employees of the GEC group – three at Marconi and one at Easams Ltd. Two others worked at separate times at the Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham. An investigation by Computer News established that most of the men were involved in computer simulation, a key part of defenc...

CRHnews - Marconi's first purpose built factory before apartmentalisation
The glory that was Marconi has all but disappeared from its home town of Chelmsford, but, at least some of the buildings at the New Street factory remain - so take a walk along the corridors of the powerhouse of wireless telegraphy which revolutionised communications because of an young Italian with a dream and the patents to hang onto it.
Chelmsford City Council promised much, putting on record that at least two rooms would contain Marconi artefacts and act as a mini museum - but, quess what, in the end, every room in the main building became apartments and offices. Councillors continue to pay lip service to Marconi, shame on them all.

Filmed in August this year with my good friend @kurtvanlife at Lavernock Point, in Wales.
We visited the site of Lavernock Battery dating back to 1860, originally built to protect the shipping lane and the ports of the Severn Estuary.
This was known as the Severn Scheme and protected the Atlantic shipping convoy de-grouping zone between Cardiff, Barry and Flat Holm.
The Palmerston government led by Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston
ordered the large system of coastal fortifications and Lavernock Battery was the most northerly of a chain...

There have been at least 26 mysterious deaths of people who worked for GEC-Marconi (the defence arm of GEC) on the Sting Ray torpedo project between 1982 and 1988. The death of the British defence journalist Jonathan Moyle, who was found hanged in his Santiago hotel room on April 1, 1990, has also been the subject of speculation as being connected to the Marconi deaths.
Most incidents occurred after the men have successfully completed important projects or left one job for another.
Four of the dead men were employees of the GEC group – three at Marconi and one at Easams Ltd. Two others worked at separate times at the Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham. An investigation by Computer News established that most of the men were involved in computer simulation, a key part of defence procurement.
At the time GEC-Marconi was Britain's only torpedo supplier and in 1986 was awarded a £400 million order from the Ministry of Defence for advanced anti-submarine Sting Ray torpedoes. The Royal Military College at Shrivenham is also involved in a number of Britain's leading edge defense projects. The college develops new testing devices for the Ministry of Defence and is engaged as a subcontractor to defence companies on research and development.
All the men involved were ambitious and demonstrated a special ability in their particular field. After every death, police gave unofficial press briefings providing journalists with plausible though unconfirmed explanations for the accidents or apparent suicides. The major problem for police has been the lack of obvious signs of depression in any of the cases. Several British MPs demanded a government inquiry. The UK Ministry of Defence denied that these scientists had been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were in any way connected.
March 1982: Professor Keith Bowden, 46
Expertise: Computer programmer and scientist at Essex University engaged in work for Marconi, who was hailed as an expert on super computers and computer-controlled aircraft.
Circumstance of Death: Fatal car crash when his vehicle went out of control across a dual carriageway and plunged onto a disused railway line. Police maintained he had been drinking but family and friends all denied the allegation.
Coroner's verdict: Accident.
April 1983: Lt. Colonel Anthony Godley, 49
Expertise: Head of the Work Study Unit at the Royal College of Military Science.
Circumstance of Death: Disappeared mysteriously in April 1983 without explanation. Presumed dead.
March 1985: Roger Hill, 49
Expertise: Radar designer and draughtsman with Marconi.
Circumstance of Death: Died by a shotgun blast at home.
Coroner's verdict: Suicide.
November 19, 1985: Jonathan Walsh, 29
Expertise: Digital communications expert who had worked at GEC and at British Telecom's secret research centre at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk.
Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of falling from a hotel room in Abidjan, West Africa, while working for British Telecom. He had expressed fears that his life was in danger.
Coroner's verdict: Open.
August 5, 1986: Vimal Dajibhai, 24
Expertise: Computer software engineer with Marconi, responsible for testing computer control systems of Tigerfish and Stingray torpedoes at Marconi Underwater Systems at Croxley Green, Hertfordshire, and was also working on an SDI related simulation system.
Circumstance of Death: Dajibhai told his wife he would be working late, and then drove a hundred miles to Bristol (a city with which he had no known connection) and fell 260 feet (80 m) from the Clifton Suspension Bridge over the River Avon. The police report on the body mentioned a needle-sized puncture wound on the left buttock, but this was later dismissed as being a result of the fall. Dajibhai had been looking forward to starting a new job in the City of London and friends had confirmed that there was no reason for him to commit suicide. At the time of his death he was in the last week of his work with Marconi.
Coroner's verdict: Open.

SUMMARY
=======
Marconi Electronic Systems (MES), or GEC-Marconi as it was until 1998, was the defence arm of The General Electric Company (GEC). It was demerged from GEC and acquired by British Aerospace (BAe) on 30 November 1999 to form BAE Systems. GEC then renamed itself Marconi plc.
MES exists today as BAE Systems Electronics Limited, a subsidiary of BAE Systems, but the assets were rearranged elsewhere within that company. MES-related businesses include BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, BAE Systems Surface Ships, BAE Systems Insyte and Selex ES (now a part of Leonardo S.p.A.).

Filmed in August this year with my good friend @kurtvanlife at Lavernock Point, in Wales.
We visited the site of Lavernock Battery dating back to 1860, originally built to protect the shipping lane and the ports of the Severn Estuary.
This was known as the Severn Scheme and protected the Atlantic shipping convoy de-grouping zone between Cardiff, Barry and Flat Holm.
The Palmerston government led by Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston
ordered the large system of coastal fortifications and Lavernock Battery was the most northerly of a chain of defences across the Bristol Channel,
By 1870, the battery was armed with three rifled muzzle-loading, seven-inch Mk III guns on disappearing carriages.
An 1895 inventory reported a fourth seven-inch gun. As weapon advancements allowed, these were replaced by two breech-loading six-inch Mk VII guns in 1903.
It is worthy of note that On 13 May 1897, Guglielmo Marconi
sent the world's first ever wireless communication over open sea. The experiment transmitted a message over the Bristol Channel from Flat Holm Island to Lavernock Point in Penarth, 3.7 mi. The message read "Are you ready".
In 1939 the site was rebuilt as an anti-aircraft battery during World War II that was originally equipped with four 3.7-inch heavy anti-aircraft guns,
each of which had ready use storage ammunition. A larger magazine was positioned between two of the gun pits. All of the guns were controlled by a central director-rangefinder observation position. This battery is listed as a Scheduled Monument.
This was an early example of Radar, given the name Gun Laying, Mark I, or GL Mk. I for short, used to provide range information to associated anti-aircraft artillery. There were two upgrades to the same basic system, GL/EF (Elevation Finder) and GL Mk. II, both of which added the ability to accurately determine bearing and elevation.
Women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) operated the search light control and Ground Laying system and were fully integrated into the daily operations at this Heavy Anti-Aircraft Artillery Site.
