    As you see, I've morphed into another form now, as the moderators obstinately refuse to forward my changed (?) password.

    That is an absolutely terrrrrible photo and has little or no resembelence. It was from the original interview with the Kent Police. What appears to be mangled face is actually prothetics which were put ito place while unsupervised in the customs area Dover, waiting to be seen to. This made it possible to give the Police a photo for their PNC records which looked nothing like the (a) real face. Down to the scar on the bad teeth, nose, brow and the appearance that one eye was slightly higher then the other.

    There have been many stories in the press but you really cannot believe them, now can you? Working for a Swiss insurance company or a large swiss bank was not the coup d' gra, but the fact that with the identity it was possible to get past the DVA (Defence Vetting Agency) and actually getting a position within GCHQ listening to the British intercepting German, French and American government communications. Of course they intercepted other but these were the most perplexing, they are after all allies. There was a further contract within the Metropolitan Police working on PNC security. Fake arrest warrants make great April fools jokes ;-}

    For the Coat of Arms, the press meerly assumed that the CoA was that from the Buckingham family of more then 200 years ago. There were slight changes made to that on the headed paper, making it very unique and unrelated to the original. It was not from the Buckingham family but from the family holding the title (Villiers family). So in essence, having created the CoA that had a striking resembelance to the older without being the same, it was possible to use the created one without any problems from the Royal College or Arms.

    As for working in any foreign intelligence services: I can neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not have in the present or past, worked, contracted or free-lanced for some existant or (officially)non-existant covert agency, government department or power.

    Contrary to UK press reports, have never been any inclinations to be a hit-man.

    Translation is
    Audrey Buckingham with picture of its child Christopher At the English border a Faehrpassagier is arrested: He stole the identity of a deceased baby two decades ago and lived on inconspicuously - also in Switzerland. Who real is it? Sebastian Borger, Kurt Brandenberger It must have been in the year 1983, when there was a break in its life, perhaps liberating for it, certainly however imperceptibly for others: The man, at that time at the beginning of 20, seized - described as in Frederick Forsythes thriller "the Schakal" - the name and the identity of a baby, who had died two decades before. From now on it as Christopher Edward Buckingham lived an inconspicuous life - among other things in Zurich, where it worked as a computer advisor of an insurance. In the meantime the past caught up it: With a passport check on the ferry from Calais to Dover "Buckingham" was arrested in January by the British police. Its attempt to spend itself as a lord failed, because the police as proof the submitted, with which seal of the aristocracy sex Buckingham unmasked provided writing paper as falsification. Finally the man confessed the wrong identity. Who is it? The genuine Christopher Edward Buckingham died in the summer 1963 during one family vacation on England south coast. Its nut/mother Audrey, at that time 24, had briefly left the rented caravan, in order to procure for its two older children Fish ' n ' chip. With its return that lay nine months old baby dead in the Bettchen. "it was still warm, did not breathe however no more", reported those meanwhile to 66-Jaehrige under tears of their local newspapers in Edinburgh. In the hospital the cause of death could not be clarified at that time perfectly. How and when did the cheat come to the papers of the baby? The wrong Buckingham is silent. "assume we that the man says a terrible secret with itself carried", to Dave Sprigg, the kriminalbeamte of the southEnglish county Kent entrusted with the case. He cannot say more. Also at the court hearing against "Buckingham" one did not approach the true identity of the man. It stands firmly only that he could procure himself with the birth certificate of the baby and an explanation in lieu of an oath a passport. Admit are also some stations of its life. Briefly after he had added himself a new identity, he became acquainted with its later wife Jody, with the Trampen in Germany a kanadierin. The two lived some time in Bavarian high swan gau, as it were in the shade of the lock of Ludwig II., before they returned to the marriage to England. After the divorce 1997 "Buckingham" kept its domicile in the centralEnglish Northampton, worked however in Zurich as a IT specialist. Its both children, today 19 and 17 years old, visited him there still sporadically. With its inhabitants of zurich friend the wrong Buckingham bought a house in Germany, close Swiss border eighteen months ago ago. On a journey from Northampton to Zurich "Buckingham" had a heavy traffic accident, which he only scarcely one year ago survived and which forced him to several cosmetic operations. "the police photo differs very strongly from the Chris, which I could do, say" the divorced wife Jody. Until the court specifies the measure of punishment in Canterbury, "Buckingham" continues to sit in remand. Possibly still another further punishment is added to the condemnation because of identity fraud and delivering a wrong insurance in lieu of an oath: Since "Buckingham" refuses itself abandoning the correct name a further condemnation threatens him because of ignoring the court. The police works further on the case. "we want to know, which secret the man stresses hidden", Sprigg. "I am exactly the same. I would like to finally know, who it is real ", says its Exfrau.
