if it had been 1936 John would have been virtually the same age as Jim Brading.
Hullo Peter- yes, you're right of course. But 1936 really just confirms the date of AR's recce, that we know otherwise from his logs and diaries. That's why I believe that although it's huge fun looking for these internal clues within the books, we really need to suspend disbelief and take them at what seems to be AR's intended value; that these are small children, still, although maybe not as small as they were in SA, and circumstantial evidence is pleasant but doesn't rule the story.
