Dick Raynor

Person 6 stories, 1933 to 2007

A Loch Ness researcher, linked in the archive to Loch Ness Investigation. Dick Raynor tends to arrive after the sighting, weighing what witnesses saw. For the Mackays' 1933 spectacle, he proposed two seals in a mating display. Critics replied that seals rarely enter the loch. He also argued that Tim Dinsdale's 1960 film at Foyers Bay showed a boat, joining others who saw a helmsman in the frames. In 2007 Gordon Holmes filmed a long black shape moving just under the surface. The next morning, the video went to Raynor.
