(For the benefit of the lazy-of-link-following, it's a chance to go on a guided tour of the Science Museum's archives in West London -- a chance to see the 93% of the collection that won't fit into the Science Museum itself)

I'm thinking maybe one weekend in October. Anyone?

I was thinking, rather: And I thought Salman Rushdie made up names like that!

(In The Ground Beneath Her Feet, there's characters called Darius and Ormuzd Cama, of Indian Parsee extraction. Darius and Xerxes are Hellenised forms of the names of ancient Persian kings (the original forms were Darayavaush and Khshayarsha); and both Ormuzd and Mazda contractions of the Zoroastrian God Ahura Mazda.)
