My father-in-law, Robert Tuckett, who has died aged 90, came to the UK as part of the Windrush generation in 1955, settling down to become an early expert in computer engineering.
In London in 1958 he joined the English Electric computer firm (later to become International Computers Limited, or ICL), working on installing and maintaining some of Britain’s first business computers, including for the Ministry of Defence in the days when the machinery would fill entire rooms in Whitehall.
