After 41 years and 6 ½ months service Margaret Elcombe retired. Margaret's research career is strongly connected with HIFAR: she gave a great deal of herself to promote neutron scattering and was always very enthusiastic with users.
Trained in Cambridge, Edinburgh and Chalk River in crystallography and lattice dynamics she came to ANSTO, then AAEC (Australian Atomic Energy Commission), in 1967.
We wish Margaret all the best for the future, but we are sure that we will see her back as one of our users on our new neutron instruments.
