218 OBITUARIES BRIAN CHARLES TWISS (1944) was an international authority on the management of technology, who followed managing advanced aerospace projects with a distinguished career in academia. Brian was born on 18 April 1926 in Grimsby and was educated at Humberstone Foundation School. He read Mechanical Sciences at King’s and was a member of the Boat Club. After National Service with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers he took an MSc at the Cranfield Institute of Technology researching the control of overhead costs in aircraft manufacture. In 1951 Brian joined the Royal Air Force and was involved in the project management of a number of advanced weapon systems, both in the UK and Australia. Unfortunately the advent of the Suez Crisis prevented his participation in the 1956 Monte Carlo Rally, where he had been entered as a navigator. Cars were a particular interest for Brian, as were history and archaeology. He married Pamela Smith in 1958 and the couple had two children, Martin and Catherine. Brian resumed his academic career in 1965, firstly back at Cranfield and then at the University of Bradford Management Centre, where he held the post of Senior Lecturer for nearly 20 years. His main area of interest was the management of technological innovation and he published widely in this area, including the standard text adopted by many universities and business schools worldwide. In 1983 Brian became a management consultant, but continued with his research focussing on the integration of technology and business at all levels of management. Remembered as an honourable man who never compromised his standards, beliefs or convictions, Brian died on 26 July 2006. GÜNTER EDUARD BERTHOLD VON HANIEL (VON HAIMHAUSEN) (1928) came from Munich, where he was born on 22 July 1908. After being educated at Salem School, near Lake Constance, he came to King’s for a year and represented the College at athletics. From 1931 to 1933 he worked in the steel export trade. He later took over the Schlossbräuerai Haimhausen, a
ewery that had been in his family for several generations, and is credited with introducing modernisation measures and new cellars. In 1959 he married Susanne Mühlsiegl. Günter died in March 1998. ALEXANDER JOHN WADDINGTON (1949) spent his childhood abroad, courtesy of his father’s career as a colonial administrator. John was born in Nairobi on 16 December 1924 and travelled throughout the Empire, both in Africa and beyond, attending numerous schools, the last of which was Hilton College, Natal. He then joined the King’s African Rifles and was destined to serve in Burma, but fortunately V-E day intervened.This enabled John to take up a place at Merton College, Oxford, where he read History and was an active member of the Operatic Society. After graduating John joined the Colonial Service and was posted to Northern Rhodesia. He returned briefly to Britain to follow the Colonial Service Course at King’s and in 1954, whilst on leave, he married Pamela Atkinson. The couple spent seven further years in Africa before John resigned, prompting their move to Worcestershire in 1961. John then became a Personnel Manager at Guest Keen & Nettleford, a post he held for over 20 years.Towards the end of this period he was seconded to the British Institute of Management to promote engineering to undergraduates. John and Pam were married for over 40 years, and when Pam died John moved to Devon to live with his elder daughter Jane. He spent 10 happy years there and travelled extensively during this time. John died on 30 December 2005, survived by his daughters Jane and Anne and their families. CHARLESTHEODORE NEWTONWATERS (1944) was born in Dorchester in 1927 and attended Bishop Wordsworth’s School in Salisbury.
