Abstract
JOHN ROBERT PANNELL, who was killed in the disaster to the airship R38 while making observations on behalf of the National Physical Laboratory, was the only surviving child of Mr. and Mrs. Pannell, of Nutley. He was born in 1885. A delicate childhood, which none would have suspected from his adult physique, interfered greatly with his education, but after courses at the Northampton Institute and some engineering works experience he joined the National Physical Laboratory in 1906 as a student assistant.
