Leigh has now sent me this picture of the Sphinx, taken on Bank Holiday Monday, 2nd Aug 1954, at Davidstow, Cornwall. I have lightened the picture slightly in an attempt to show a bit more detail. It was taken from a book by Peter Tutthill, who has given his permission for us to reproduce it here. Thanks to both Peter and Leigh.
