February 7, 2014: Jan Blachut writes (in an email message to David Bushnell): "At 65 I have retired from University of Liverpool and I have accepted chair at Cracow University of Technology, Poland. At the moment I have honorary positions here in Liverpool and also at Aero Dept at nearby Manchester University. It looks that for the time being I will be commuting between Liverpool and Cracow"
