Biographical Information
The majority of Dr. Hulme's biographical information comes from his entries in Who's Who (1954-1991), and Who Was Who (edition published 1996). There are only scant references to Dr. Hulme in the books that are about Britain's H-bomb project even though he appears to be one of the four major people behind the project and behind the creation of the bomb.

Parker-Hulme Murder Case
I don't see any reason for repeating any of the information that is already on the Parker-Hulme case page and best just to have a link to the page.

After Retirement
There doesn't appear to be any information available that relates to what he did with his time post his retirement as his Who's Who entry which he did update the address that was at the end of it, but under recreations he just listed various. 'The Search for Anne Perry' states that Dr. Hulme restored old water colours, some of which hang on the walls of Anne Perrys house.

Photographs of Dr. Hulme
There appear to be very few pictures of Dr. Hulme. There appear to be the major pictures available of Dr. Hulme;
 * Official portrait AWRE - obtained through FOI request to MOD. There is an alternative version of this in the book 'The Search for Anne Perry'.
 * Photograph taken on 3rd July when he was on his way back to England that appeared in NZ Truth on 4th July. Have good quality version of this.
 * Photograph of Dr. Hulme smoking a cigarette, taken from Changing Direction by Julian Lewis and it is possible this photograph was taken prior to 1948.
 * Family photograph taken around 13th October 1948 when he arrived in New Zealand.
 * Photograph with unknown man, probably taken while he was in New Zealand.
 * Possible photograph of Hulme around the age of 13 while he was at the Manchester Grammar School.
 * Photograph taken from Australian newspaper July 1955 regarding his divorce from Hilda, possibly taken on 3rd July 1954.
 * Photograph that appears to be a crop of a bigger photograph.
 * Low quality photocopy of a picture that appeared in AWRE News when he retired.

There is an official portrait that was painted before he left New Zealand in 1954. Been unable to obtain a photograph of this.

Unsure if there are any other pictures of Hulme.

Birth year of son
This is given as 1994. This is obviously wrong, as he was a child at the time of the Parker-Hulme murder in 1954. (Besides, in 1994 his father had been dead for three years!) Kostaki mou (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
