Talk:Hut 7

Personnel

Eric Nave, Royal Australian Navy, translator at Melbourne -- Denham indicates he was a senior translator in the section on Kilindini, but no mention found (yet) of him at BP/K/A and Smith indicates he was too ill to return to Singapore and stayed in Melbourne. -- DGamey 01:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capt. Kennedy - may be Malcolm Kennedy (from Smith) -- DGamey 19:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I probably have too many people in the list as it stands and should trim it. I won't do this right away as I want to review Smith again. Anyone who gets removed should be place above under 'Removed'

Keep anyone who has Wikipage, reference authors, has a significant reference
'Remove' anyone who doesn't get at least a second mention in a reference should be moved to 'Removed'
'Remove' anyone if they can't be tied to BP/K/A
Where unclear, continue to track people under 'Others', in case something is missed they can be easily brought back

Material taked to date is from Denham, Loewe, and Scott.
To do - review Smith
Linguists probably should be changed to translators. It seems initially that everyone went through the long language course. Cryptanalysts received additional training. By the Time Scott joined that had changed. Also it may be that roles changed.
Scott refered to a gate house interview at BP (an FO man named Yoxall no first name - it would make sense that this was Leslie Yoxall as he had moved to Hut 7 in '42 about the time Scott arrived). - updated article -- Hadn't previously heard of this interview, not sure of purpose (to confirm identity?? subselect??)
Not sure of Melbourne's relation with BP at this point. I have a recollection it was different from K & A.

Denham indicates BP contributed to CORAL and JADE. Love to know more. DGamey 13:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does it only include people at FECB at Colombo & Kilindini - why not when FECB was at Hong Kong (Dick Thatcher was there) and Singapore? Hugo999 (talk) 14:07, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
