Loch Ness They Created a Monster
The unbelievable story behind the unbelievable story. An affectionate, funny, shockng and wonderous tale of WW2 veterans, mad scientists and hippies al;l competing in a search for what they passionately believed would be the natural history discovery of the century: the zoological Mount Everest. Rumours and sighting of a dinosaur -like creature had persisted at Loch Ness for decases, and the 1970s was peak Nessie. No qualifications were needed to join the hunt, just a sense of wonder. Most notorious of all the hunters was Frank Searle, who advertised - and found - Girl Fridays to share his caravan.
