taniwha Posted September 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) He has kept his secrets for more than 50 years: the quiet man of the most infamous criminal gang in British history, both mastermind and instigator of the Great Train Robbery. Two key facts about the audacious 1963 robbery that gripped the public imagination still remain unknown – who was the insider, the mystery man who fed the gang the information they needed to know to target the train? And who was the gang member who bloodied what was planned as a "gentleman's crime" by coshing the train driver? http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/sep/28/great-train-robber-douglas-gordon-goody-reveals-identity-mystery-inside Edited September 28, 2014 by taniwha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of this American legend till now... ...Known as the "Gentleman Bandit" because of his good manners during holdups, Bill Miner achieved notoriety for numerous stagecoach and train robberies in the American West... http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/william-miner/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
