    Thanks, Rob, although it is only a temporary spell. And yes - I am not surprised.

    Phil! Oh yes, I do remember. How's the hat (I distinctly remember a hat!)?
    Hope all is well with you.

    Thanks Robert. None of you probably wouldn't recognise me now - I have quite long hair and full beard nowadays. Although no Alan Sharp copy. So, no Robert, no moustache wax at present. I decided not to look like eighty-two anymore, although it was fun for awhile. Will probably take it up again when I retire in about 25 years from now.

    All the best

      Most frustrating thing about the JTR case, (besides no knowing who JTR was) is not knowning what Inspector Abberline looked like.

      This looks likely, yes. Thanks for that input, Rob.

        Or who Mary Kelly was.
        I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

            The Abberline problem sounds like the kind of thing that will be solved some day. I think Colin's a good candidate to be the finder.

              That's very flattering but it's a tall order!

                  "The True Face of Inspector Abberline" by Andy Aliffe in the October 2006 Issue of Ripperologist (Number 72) still remains the best discussion of the search for an Abberline photograph.

                    I don`t have the issue to hand but I do remember that article. From memory Andy does not mention the guy in the Leman St H-Div photo that Rob House discovered a couple of years ago.

                      I think Stewart would beg to differ on that.

                        Yes, Stewart`s photo but Rob House discovered the hidden "Abberline" within that group.

                          Apologies Jon,

                          I misread.

                          To me it looked as if you were saying Rob discovered the photo.

                            No worries, mate. It does read as you say. I should have written the Abberline that Rob House discovered in the Leman St group photo.

                            I did contact Stewart at the time for his opinion, and I hope he doesn`t mind my saying that he thought he was a good candidate for Abberline.

                              I'm sure that candidate for Abberline was discussed before Rob pointed him out

                              When the people in the front row where being discussed, I remember asking why other people in the photo were not being considered, with that very chap that "Rob discovered" in mind, and he was discussed at that time

                              I've had a look for the thread but it isn't on the boards so I assume it was lost in the Great Crash

                                Don`t think it was, Nemo

                                If it was new to Sam Flynn in 2009, it was definitely a new find.
