Anyway, Mrs. Young told us of a drive to Coniston to the quieter Eastern side of the lake. They parked in the car-park right by the lake side. It was effectively a beach at the side of the lake. Mrs. Young was sitting in the passenger seat and Mr. Young in the driver's seat. He said his injury did not impair his driving, and we know he saw a doctor on the 17th of July. That is pretty clear, so we have got the dates for that right. It was in the late morning. It was possible she thought she was looking through binoculars, but she was not sure of that. She said her attention was drawn to a small white boat. It was the type of boat that many had on Coniston. She thought it might have been of the type with a cabin and a motor. She was not sure whether it had sails. It possibly had a mast. It appeared to be private rather than hired. She did not say why she thought that, but that was her impression. There was a man standing up in the boat. He was wearing a wet suit, a dark colour. He had brownish or auburn hair in the longer styles of the time and possibly a moustache. He was slim faced, but she was unable to see his height because he was standing in the bottom of the boat. Mrs. Young thought he was wearing glasses. She was more than 50% sure of that.
Mr. Park agreed in evidence that the 505 had been white. He accepted he had a full head of auburn hair at the time. He initially told us that he did not wear glasses at this stage when he was outside; he only used them for reading. He was then shown a photograph dated by somebody the 25th of August 1973, and we have that in your folder showing him wearing glasses outside at the end of the photographs in divider eight in your folders. Mr. Park said that he was surprised to see himself in glasses in those circumstances. He agreed he had a wet suit in 1976. He said, however, that it had been damaged at the sailing course in May or June and it had to be discarded at that time, he told us.
