On 7 August 1963, a gang of thieves stopped the Glasgow-to-London overnight mail train at Bridego Railway Bridge in Buckinghamshire and stole approximately £2.6 million in used banknotes, striking the train driver Jack Mills in the process. More than sixty years later, the identities of at least two men present at the bridge that night remain unestablished in any court record, and the majority of the stolen money has never been recovered. What unravelled one of the most meticulously planned raids in British criminal history was not police work but the gang's own failure to destroy the evidence they left behind.
