Croy is real - my father went to prep school with him in Birmingham, and said he was a really special fellow. All I know about him is that he is/was an historian, and was kicked out of the RAF for womanizing (a superior officer's wife, apparently). Also, Mulloy Devenish-Phibbs was the mayor, resident drunk & greeter-of-fisherman at Dalbeg, a little village in Scotland where my father and I fished regularly in the sixties. I'm sure he's no longer with us, he was elderly back then. You don't forget a name (or a person!) like that. Yours Biul MacCord This is not a hoax.
