- Made:

Silver gelatin photographic print by Planet News, Ltd., titled "Is this the Loch Ness Monster". Dated 15 June 1960. Caption on verso reads: "London: Thirty-six-year-old wartime pilot Tom Dinsdale stands with the model of the 'monster' he made, which he says he has seen and filmed in Loch Ness. He is pointing to the fins. Tom made fifteen feet of film which he claims shows the monster swimming and diving a mile away from him when he was at Loch Ness on April 23rd. The film was shown on television in the 'Panorama' programme on June 13th. Tom said he thought the 'monster' could conceivably be a type of large reptile, possibly an evolved form of plesiosaur."
