The tenth anniversaries of the deaths of George Batchelor and David Crighton occurred, respectively, in March and April this year. In commemoration and celebration of their lives and works, an afternoon of talks was held in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), University of Cambridge on 19 April 2010. Three of those talks are summarised here: Keith Moffatt and Shon Ffowcs-Williams give impressions of the lives and spirits of these two prominent figures in the history of Jfm – George its founder and David its Editor from 1996, having been an associate editor since 1979; John Hinch gives insight into MicroHydrodynamics, a term coined by George to describe the research area that dominated the second half of his career.
