rob crossan
It took a visit out to
Buckinghamshire and some
“
friendly chats” with the
policemen involved with
the Great Train Robbery
before (aptly named) Rob
could write his story on the
50
th anniversary of the heist
(
see p90). His work for
The
Times, Sunday Times Travel,
Monocle
and others has
taken him around the world
–
he once even milked a cow
live on Uruguayan breakfast
television. As you do.
victoria ling
Having discovered “the
excitement for making a great
picture”, Victoria Ling moved
to London after university
to pursue her photography
career. As an assistant, she
once spent hours traipsing
door to door trying to get rid
of quickly melting ice cream
after a shoot. Now she’s her
own boss, shooting for the
likes of
Wired
and
Tatler
.
She
also takes our monthly still-
life. See her vision of Munich
on page 118.

oliver thring
He’s eaten an
echinoderm’s
(
sea cucumber) intestines in
Kyoto and been skinny skiing
in Austria, but for this regular
contributor to the
Guardian
,
it’s the unpredictability that
he loves most. As he’s game
for just about anything, who
better to send canyoning in
the Ribeiro Frio – literally,
the cold river – in Madeira
(
see p60)? Several hundred
metres of slipping and sliding
later, it was “exhausting, but
an absolute joy,” he told us.
virginiamatthews
Politics graduate,
The Times
journalist and now – after
her immersion in the world
of “wacky IT gizmos” for
her piece this month (p98)
–
fluent in ‘geek speak’,
Virginia Matthews has
many strings to her bow.
Her investigation into how
futuristic technologies
such as facial recognition
are changing the way we
shop took her all the way
from “gritty Brick Lane” to
upmarket Bond Street.
