Was he the fair-haired projectionist who worked with Bill Cowie (former head projectionist at the Gaumont) and Tony Laing (from the ABC Regal?) during the 1970s/80s. Not tall, very nice guy, married one of the Odeon manageresses. Afraid I have lost track of him. Maybe another contributor will respond? Jim

The Odeon Aberdeen closed for two weeks from May 25th 1959 for the installation of Todd-AO 70mm screen and projection. On June 8th 1959 South Pacific opened for a 16 week run.
