“'Stay low, stay on track, and stay alive' was the motto of the RAF's most secret Station, Tempsford. That's exactly what Geoffrey Rothwell did ‒ DFC &amp; Bar, 1939-45 Star, Aircrew Europe Star with France/Germany Clasp, Defence Medal, Victory Medal, Order of Leopold II &amp; Palme, Croix de Guerre 1940 &amp; Palme, Bomber Command Medal, POW medal, La Légion d’honneur ‒ from Bomber Command via SOE to Stalag and back.” In episode 53 I talked to Gabrielle McDonald-Rothwell about the SOE agent Diana Rowden. After we had stopped recording Gabrielle told me about her husband Geoffrey Rothwell, was the last surviving pilot for SOE during the war. At the time she was in the process of checking through a biography of Geoff’s experiences. Sadly since then Geoff has passed away, but Gabrielle has managed to complete the book recounting his life and wartime experiences and its been released, the title is ‘Last Man Standing’. In this bonus episode of the podcast I talk to Gabrielle about Geoff’s life.

Last Man Standing: Geoffrey Rothwell

In this episode, we discuss...   A deep dive into the economics of nuclear power.     The evolution of the uranium enrichment industry and the processes involved.     Causes behind significant fluctuations in the value of uranium throughout history.     The enrichment capabilities of different countries.     Separative work units and how they apply to enrichment processes.     The necessity for negative bidding in the nuclear industry.     A look at Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison’s respective impacts on the electric and nuclear industries.     An explanation for the multiple definitions of SMR (Small Modular Reactors).     The grave pitfalls of market-driven approaches to energy and their impact on climate.     Historical symptoms of climate change including the receding glaciers.     Approaches we can adopt to decrease energy’s cost of capital.
