A British aeronautical engineer, Tim Dinsdale was drawn to Loch Ness by a magazine article in Everybody's. April 1960. He came for a six-day watch, alone. On 21 April he saw a churning ring of water around two long black shapes, and filmed it at Foyers Bay. That same year he visited Hugh Gray and found a man speaking with complete conviction. He accepted Lachlan Stuart's three humps photograph as positive evidence, put a Doc Shiels picture on the cover of The Loch Ness Monster, and repeated the Lake Khaiyr story in The Leviathans.
