.......AW's two bob on Lank Rigg?

Yes - my father and I went up there a few days after the
book was published, and the place looked as if it had been

the day after the book was published.

I can remember reading something on the subject in his
biography by Hunter Davies. I think it might well have said
he admitted going back and getting
it.
