Default Len Beadell

By pure coincidence, I have just been listening to a recording of a very amusing talk by the late Len Beadell, the surveyor who mapped out the rocket range at Woomera and the bomb test sites at Emu and Maralinga. His account of making the airstrip at Emu and the first landings is amusing. He observed the Emu bomb going off alongside the British scientist in charge.
