Back to Adams original point, what was the perceived advantage for Bamber in using the portable phone?

Julie said Bamber told her it would show the 'last number dialled'.

Very shocked he didnt use it then.

He couldn't as it wasn't at WHF.

My ex husband was an anything new technophile! Back in the 80's -and it could only have been between 81 and 85 we visited the Isle of White, from where we sat in the car with a mobile phone the size of a house-brick and a pull out ariel almost a foot long, and made a call to my parents, in Essex! It was as clear as if they'd been standing next to the car. My amazement was off the scale!

Yes Jane but we are talking about different things here, I once used a mobile phone the size of a small suitcase. Nevil's phone was not a mobile phone it was a mobile handset which was connected to the landline via a base unit with a very limited range. Even today they have a very limited range.

So Adam asking for a source that Nevil's handset could reach GH is just wasting everyone's time as he always does.

To be honest would have only been an advantage if he had come under suspicion in any single form from the early stages.

By the time he had got arrested nearly two months later it would have probably been thrown.

Julie's WS said he told her the portable phone had a 'last number dialled' facility.

AI confirms these phones had that facility in 1985.

The defence would have been all over her if it didn't.

Can only think of one reason why Bamber gave her that information.

Like I said, it limits Neville’s chance or anyone’s chance of getting to the Phone,   if they did it could blow his cover.  So two phones down, one broken and another one hid, only leaves the Kitchen phone and the office phone.   it could be why, June was trying to get to Neville’s side of the bed thinking that the phone was there, also it could explain why Sheila went to Neville’s side of the bed thinking the phone was there also.

Does Bamber question why there was no Bedroom phone do we know?  He obviously knew the kitchen Phone had been replaced by the Bedroom phone.

It's likely with the murder suicide scenario being accepted from the outset that the phone would have ended up on local council rubbish truck.

Agree had he been subjected to suspicion from the initial outset it could have been or value for him.

One would have thought June would have preferred to take her sister's call in bed, rather than standing around the kitchen area at such a late hour during harvest. It suggests she wasn't expecting a call. I don't think Jeremy would volunteer information in any case, as the question might have been asked why his mother didn't put the bullets away her son had carelessly tipped out onto the blue and white chequered worktop only minutes before.

Yes I did think that about the bullets at the side of the Phone Steve and June using the phone..  But he claimed he tipped them out while they were feet away from him anyway, and in a later interview claiming Sheila would have a view of him as he tipped them out at the side of the Phone,  cementing her knowledge of the bullets.

Telephones 66. There were normally four telephones at White House Farm (although there was only one telephone line). A cream old-fashioned finger-dial telephone kept in the main bedroom (the bedroom telephone), a blue digital telephone in the first floor office (the office telephone), a cream cordless telephone kept in the kitchen but used around and outside the house (the cordless telephone) and a fawn digital telephone also kept in the kitchen (the kitchen telephone). The only telephone with a memory recall feature was the CORDLESS TELEPHONE but this had been faulty and was collected for repair on the morning of 5 August 1985.
