errr - nope!   Last I heard MM was reluctant to acknowledge even that
the idea of the concept might have been his.   He certainly did not want
to be considered a collaborator of this lot.   So far as I understand it
Butterworth used the idea of Hawkwind as Hawklords and everything after
that was his own.   MM's name was used as a salespitch I suspect!
