In the UK of course, Dummer's groundbreaking ideas were derided and dismissed, and no finance for further development was available by either private or public finance. This was similar in occurrence to the ideas of Barnes Wallis' Swallow, or the technology of the Whittle jet engine.

I would personally try to think of a way of putting this back in, because it is true. The UK government weren't interested in his ideas so they didn't provide funding. It's a real shame, really. --rjcuk (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
