Budget Day 1973. London Evening News Front Page.

Len's Brother In Law who worked in Hatton Garden and lived in Epping bought this copy of The London Evening News on his way home from work. He caught his train in the usual manner and fell asleep (also, probably in the usual manner?) without noting the fantastic picture of his Brother In Law on the front page.
When he arrived home his Wife immediately noticed her Brother taking up large bits of the front page and immediately telephoned Len at home to inform him.
Len's Brother In Law then added the extra 'headlines' as shown today.

Len and PC 495 'A' Ian JACKSON.
