Back in RAF West Sanby, the corporal photographer had developed the film and was busy making prints from the negatives. He smiled when he saw the photograph of Yvonne but realised the key photograph must the one of the men on the fishing boat. Using his initiative, he produced extra prints of that one. As soon as they were ready he took them down to Hamilton in the JSTU office. When Hamilton had looked at them he thanked the corporal and asked him to make two extra sets. The corporal nodded and went off to carry out the request.
Hamilton then went to see Corporal Andy Hill and asked him about the men. Andy pointed to the one he had seen in the bar of The Hound and Pheasant and said that he thought he was East European despite the name he used. The other one must be his ‘friend’. Hamilton was particularly interested in the metal suitcase the man was carrying. “Right, I’m going down to the village to see Jamie Rogerson. It’s opening time so I shouldn’t look suspicious. I’ll talk to you when I get back,” said Hamilton to Andy.
“Fine, sir,” was the reply, and Hamilton headed out of the building to his car.
Worried about the photographs, Berin wondered if he could get the camera from the barman of The Hound and Pheasant and remove the film. He looked innocent enough taking photographs of the harbour and boats but one couldn’t be too sure. Berin wondered whether he was living in the pub or boarding in the village. They were due to go fishing in the afternoon and he wondered if he would have time to go across to West Sanby and try for the camera. He walked across to the Penny Jane where Walmar was doing some maintenance and asked him if he could borrow the van for an hour, explaining that he needed to check on the Scottish barman at The Hound and Pheasant but he wouldn’t make any trouble. Walmar reluctantly agreed and gave Berin the keys to the van. “Don’t be more than an hour. We have to finish preparation to go fishing,” Walmar said. Berin waved a hand in understanding and headed for the van.
Fifteen minutes later he was parking outside the pub in West Sanby. Being a Saturday, the pub was serving lunches and locally-caught fish were on the menu. Berin went into the bar and ordered a beer. He was served by the publican and there was no sign of Jamie. Berin made as though he was going out to the toilet. Hearing voices in the lounge bar he stuck his head around the door and saw Jamie in conversation with a well-dressed distinguished looking man. They looked up as Berin opened the door and saw him with recognition on both their faces. An envelope lay on the table and Berin guessed it must contain the photos with him in them. He shut the door and went back into the bar, finished his drink and, with a wave to the publican, he left. Berin decided to go straight back to Parfleet St Peter and encourage an early departure for fishing. They wouldn’t be back until the early hours of Sunday. Berin wondered who the person was with Jamie the barman. Could he be from MI5 or some other British intelligence organisation? If that was so then was the Scotsman more than a barman? It would take time for them to check up on his fake identity but they would eventually find out that the real William Enderby had died in a road accident in Germany in 1956. It should give him enough time to complete his task but he decided to warn Moscow that he should be taken out soon.
Back at The Hound and Pheasant, Jamie had given Hamilton his reasons for photographing Bill Enderby and his friend. Hamilton gave Jamie one set of the photographs and said that he would keep the negatives. Pointing to the photograph of Yvonne, Hamilton warned Jamie not to put her in danger. They needed the co-operation of the local community. He said that he would have MI5 check up on the two men and see whether they had anything on them. He told Jamie to follow up on both men and see what he could find out from the locals. Hamilton also suggested that Jamie should try to transfer to Parfleet St Peter and monitor the movements of Walmar and Enderby. He pointed out that the appearance of Enderby’s friend coincided with the incident of the missing missile loading tractor and also the attempted hijack of the RAF truck at Peterborough. If Jamie could monitor the movements of Walmar’s fishing boat they might be able to link it to the intercepted transmissions. He thanked Jamie for his initiative, shook hands and left.
Jamie went back to the bar and thanked Bob, his boss, for helping out and explained that he had to make a statement over something he had witnessed. Bob nodded, guessing there was more to it and wondering what would come next.
It was lunchtime at RAF West Sanby and the members of the JSTU had access to the day’s newspapers. Very quickly the news
