Legendary as Comrade Colonel Professor Winter's "lonely London walk" might be within the annals of the Herefordshire VBCW, re-tracing his historical steps is certainly a favourite pastime for dedicated VBCW researchers (aka "geeks"):
 |
| Middle Temple Hall, 2020s. Nothing has changed since the 1930s - unsurprising, given that this view has been unchanged since the 1570s. |
 |
| Middle Temple Lane, 2020s. No 'Fleet Street' press pack in evidence now, but otherwise unchanged from the 1930s. Photo (rather obviously) from 'alamy'. |
 |
| Still an Embassy today at 13 Kensington Gardens - but of the "Russian Federation" (note flag) rather than the "Soviet Union". Was Winter's visit responsible for such a dramatic change? [Answer - er, no.] |
