So what is his explanation for altering the dates on his notebook?
No idea, but you can very clearly see that he hasn't tried to hide it.
... Hasn't tried to hide it? So, where is the missing five months worth of notes which should have been recorded, inside the cover of book 49? Jones was duty bound and governed by police regulations, to make daily contemporaneously written notes directly into his pocketbook, and he was only supposed to have access to one pocketbook at a time, and he could not obtain another pocketbook from a senior or a supervisory officer, until the one he was currently using was full. Regulations exist governing how pocketbooks shall be issued, and what a police officer is duty bound to do in so far as, what and when notes must be written up into the pocketbook, and so it should be clear to everyone, that Jones is responsible for very serious breachs of police regulations, and that the original notes in the cover of pocketbook 49, commenced on 5th November 1984, on a daily basis until the date in 1986, when according to the date on the front cover of 49, it concluded - yet, the first entries in 49, do not commence on 5th November 1984, but instead start in April 1985, and so there are five months worth of missing daily notes which were originally written up inside pocketbook cover 49, which Jones was duty bound to record between the covers of 49 for the relevant period, 5th November 1984 to April 1985. Basically put, he must have removed the staples and inner pages of 49, and replaced them with new pages, to enable him to re-write his notes to incorporate the false silencer evidence, and his involvment with the relatives, and Julie Mugford, in entries commencing August 1985. The original notes that were removed probably contained damning evidence abov the find of the silencer by Jones at the scene on 7th August, and police suspicions that the relatives were trying to frame Jeremy for the murders...
