The article is in good shape. I have a few queries/comments:

He is referred to as a "Higher Education Advisor" in the lead, but there is no reference to that title in the body. Is this meant to describe a generic role or is it a title of a position? If the former, it should probably be in lower case, if the latter, some mention of it in the body is necessary.

was he involved in the 3 MeV betatron? It isn't clear.
Nor is the source, which says "In 1945 Lasich and Riddiford started building a 3 MeV betatron. This was converted to an 18 MeV electron synchrotron in 1948 when Muirhead and Wright joined the group. In 1962, shortly after Martin had left, a new 35 MeV Siemens betatron was obtained and was used by Spicer, Muirhead and Thompson for photonuclear work until 1986." But it's certainly an important piece of equipment acquired on his watch. (talk) 22:08, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's me done. The image is not free but has a good FUR. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, and is illustrated by an image with an acceptable FUR. Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:38, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
