Hutch Photo

[KatBradshaw]

I read on the Wikki that there is a proposed picture of Hutch. Is this published anywhere on here?

[Rob Clack]

It's probably this one Kate.

George Topping Hutchinson. It's not likely our George Hutchinson.

Thanks Rob!!

And this, Kat, is a contemporaneous sketch of Hutchinson made shortly after he submitted his police statement.

Hmmm, a rather sinister sketch if you ask me.

Hmmm looks like an undercover policeman to me! ;-)

Thanks to you too Garry!
I have to say I am becoming more and more interested in Hutch and his story. I notice in children in work always embellish stories when they are lies.

[Garry Wroe]

Well, Kat, if he was nothing else, old George was certainly a master of over-elaboration.

Best wishes.

Hi Garry,

it's all about eyes with Hutch.
He could see Deauville from the Tower of London.

The moustache fits! :{

[DVV]

Indeed.
Add the moustache to the signatures, and the case is closed.

David,

Again?

[DVV]

Apologies!

Old discussions on victorian hats have lost me.
I gave up when when I was told that there were different types of wideawakes...
However I dont think the hat of the sketch is a wideawake.
Jesus... The matching moustache has to be another coincidence.

Amitiés,
David

And there was I thinking we could all pack up and go home... oh well.. have nothing better to do this Christmas. hahaha

Seriously though, Garry's presentation (thank you!) of that sketch DOES make one wonder. Bowler hat, tie, nice coat, full, strong build. I must say if I was going to think of him in my "mind's eye" of an undercover officer, standing by a wall or fence observing.... that would be pretty close.

Best wishes

Phil
