  • 17 October 1989
    3121 iternetatnwp TIunrt Tuesday, 17 October 1989 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Clive Griffiths) took the Chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. MOTION - G OVERNOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Retirement - Appreciation HON GEOR(;E CASH (North Metropolitan - Leader of the Opposition) [3.33 pm] - by leave: i move, without notice - That following the retirement on 30 September 1989 of the Governor of Western Australia, Professor Gordon Reid, this House conveys its appreciation to Professor Gordon Reid and Mrs Ruth Reid for the outstanding service they have extended to the people of Western Australia during their term in viceregal office and for the gracious manner in which they have worked to protect and enhance the dignity and respect that the position of Governor should hold under our Westminster system of Parliament. I thank the House for granting me leave on this occasion. The reason I have moved this motion today is that it is the first day the Parliament has returned after a two week recess since the retirement of Professor Gordon Reid as Governor of Western Australia. Members will be aware that Professor Reid was appointed Governor of Western Australia in 1984 and retired on 30 September 1989. It is true that he has retired as a result of ill health, something that we have raised in this House before and about which I have spoken to wish him well in his recovery from his present illness. Professor Reid was a special person in the role of Governor of Western Australia. If we look at Governors this State has had in recent times, in general terms they were people who had been born overseas.

Journalists wrote about it at the time, many people who were involved wrote about it in the immediate years that followed, and historians have tried to put it all together. The issues of foreign policy at the strategic level and the military operations that took place in this period have been especially well covered. However, the question of military strategic alternatives in this important era of British foreign policy has been less studied.

Senior Minister of State for Defence Mr Heng Chee How visited the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)'s Flying Training Institute (FTI) Detachment in Pearce, Australia, for their 25th anniversary celebrations earlier today. This morning in Perth, Mr Heng was also hosted to breakfast by Governor of Western Australia and former Minister for Defence Kim Beazley, 1 AC. During the breakfast, Mr Heng and Mr Beazley reaffirmed the close and long-standing relationship between Singapore and Australia. Mr Heng also thanked Mr Beazley for Australia's strong support for the Singapore Armed Force's training in Western Australia. The visit to the RSAF's FTI detachment was hosted by Commander of the RSAF's Air Force Training Command Colonel Kevin Goh at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Pearce.

  • Another ICL Anthology
    Foreword On June 21st 1948 Tom Kilburn ran a program on the first electronically stored program computer in the world. Freddy Williams and Tom had been struggling for some time to make their cathode ray tube store work. Demonstrating the store was the key thing, for without a store the computer as we know it today could never be. This simple machine, always known as the 'BABY', was developed into the Ferranti Mark 1, the first computer to go on commercial sale anywhere in the world. Tom's program was the first program to be written and run. Some of us here in Manchester felt that the fiftieth anniversary of such stupendous achievements should not go unnoticed. So at 11 a.m. on June 21st 1998, fifty years to the dot later, Tom ran that same program again on a reconstructed BABY that had earlier been ceremonially switched on by the widow of Freddy Williams. A team of enthusiasts, almost all members or retired members of ICL, researched the design and built the machine from genuine 1940s components. This would not have been possible without the usual ICL drive and enthusiasm, typified at the personal level by Chris Burton (ex- ICL West Gorton) who led the team, and marked at the corporate level by sponsorship of the project. Anyone interested can now see BABY at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. Tom Kilburn says that it looks exactly like the original - except that it's cleaner. I mention this story because it illustrates vividly what has happened to our industry over fifty years.
