Ah, yes! Thanks, Jean!
So glad others spotted the same thing as me. Absolutely baffling.
I'm quite new to this forum, so a bit lost as to what has already been discussed. That's a rather long thread. Will have to spend a few hours going through it!

On the subject of passports, I have a couple of queries about the photos.
I was of the belief that photos had to be front-on.

My passport photo is taken in the same pose as Kate's. This was quite acceptable when I took it out in 2004, but the rules changed sometime - I am not sure when, possibly when all the extra security came in around 2007?

No, the rules came into effect in 1998.

A UK passport is valid for ten years. If the passport was issued before 1998 it wouldn't have to adhere to those rules. KM's passport was issued before 1998.

Even if that's the case, how about Gerry's grinning pose?

They obviously weren't strictly adhered to then, because my passport was issued in 2004!

After blowing up this picture and looking closly at it,I acually think there are 5 passport and not 4 . I always believed it to be only 4 there. But if you look at the one in the bottom, I acuallt think there is one on top of that wich has slided in between the others so its not at line with the others. But looks like a little gap there so I think its there, just not so clearly seen as the others because they'r back are at line..
Hard to explain since I dont know the accurat words to use, describing what I see.

You can see the air between the one in the bottom, and the passport we tought was number 2 from the bottom, so im pretty sure our nr 2 is acually passport number 3..

Take a look , important to blow it up to see it better. Not visible in normal size..

I think there is something between the bottom passport and the second one up but it looks like a piece of paper to me and not another passport.

I agree Jean. To me it looks like blue paper that has been folded.
