Simon, you really wanna know the answer to that ?

It described Tim BL as " a technician working at CERN in Geneva" . This is UK management code for someone next up from the lab bottlewasher (I know, I was educated there).So, the answer to your question is, if the hidebound ignoramus who wrote the article has anything to do with it, "Not for a bloody long time". On the other hand, if you look at the pattern of these handouts, and assume they get handled more or less sanely, Frank Whittle (remember the jet engine ? ) did eventually get a K, so the bets are for something between the handout to the Beatles (MBEs) and a "Sirhood" for Tim BL.
