About a year ago I came across a hard-back edition of The Riddle of the Sands which had some interesting notes including conjecture regarding the possible real-life model for Arthur Davies. Is this in your edition Beck?
I can easily go along with the idea that AR's own explorations of Hamford Water, when he was living on the East Coast in the 30s, were sparked off by the ROTS, and then in turn AR was inspired to use his own explorations for the basis of SW, but maybe there's more to it, as you suggest. Of course the two authors may have met, or known each other since both were based in London in the first decade of the 20th century. Has anybody any ideas about this possibility?
