    Lord Lucan went to Africa?

    BBC News - Witnesses reveal Lord Lucan's 'secret life in Africa'

    I was at Howletts today - maybe I should have asked Damian Aspinall?

    Though I doubt John would have asked his secretary to book anything - she might have gone to the police.

    Or maybe he expected her to go to police straight away so that they go into wrong direction... how mistaken he was in this case!

      I was in the Diani Reef Beach hotel in Mombasa in the late 80s and an old codger who I thought looked like an old Lucan used to regularly drink in the hotel bar. I remember remarking on it at the time

        I didn't know that but I used to watch the TV series 'Lucan' in the late 70's.

          They don't make wives like they used to

          The wife of missing aristocrat Lord Lucan, who disappeared after murdering his childrens' nanny, has told how she would have covered up his crime has he not turned on her and left her too badly injured to help.
          The Countess of Lucan also admitted she still harbours feelings for her husband, despite the fact he beat her savagely with a lead pipe, leaving her with an inch-long scar on her forehead.
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                And Graham Hill flew him out of the UK to catch the next plane from Europe to Africa.

                Allegedly.

                  Mrs BP's father got a lift home on the back of GH's motorbike one night. They were both very drunk.

                    He hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something.
