I've always had an interest in this mystery, compounded by the fact now that
a) I live close to Newhaven where his car was abandoned after the murder in London with incriminating evidence in the boot
b) People like Jimmy Goldsmith who were mixed up in the whole business went on to shape British politics (Goldsmith's son is now MP for Richmond Park)
c) we all love a whodunnit or what happened next
and now d) it appears that the DI in charge of the case, Roy Ranson - presumably now dead - believed Lucan may have left the country later in a private plane flown by Graham Hill, the F1 racing driver, and at that time head of a new F1 team. Hill himself later died almost exactly a year later in a plane crash over Arkley gof-course in North london.
This means a lot to me as I am distantly related by marriage to the hill family and Graham was my boyhood hero. I really can't get my head around the possibility that he got involved with the Clermont set as he had very much a lower middle-class background, not like them toffs.
Anybody else in NSC land got thoughts on this topic?
