I wish I knew, but thanks for your comprehensive summary of some of the contentious issues. Each time I read this thread I'm impressed by how you and a few other posters have got the facts at your fingertips.
One of the things that intrigues me that I haven't read much about on this site (although I'm only 183 pages into it) is what sort of state the gunman would have been in after taking the driving seat in the Morris Minor.
One of the accounts I read described how after he was shot MG slumped over the steering wheel, and there was the sound of blood running out of his head wounds. Afterwards for some reason he flopped back in the seat, so presumably some of the blood would have leaked on to that as well.
The gunman is reported to have wiped the steering wheel (with what?) and to have draped some sort of covering retrieved from the boot over the seat. But I would imagine he would have been hard pressed to have emerged from the car without some visible blood stains on his clothes. There must have been a pool of blood around the accelerator and brake pedals.
If he abandoned the car in Redbridge during the early morning rushhour and, presumably, boarded a train from the nearby underground station, how come nobody seems to have noticed him?
Regards
Alan
