This weekend sees the anniversary of one of the most audacious robberies in history – the Great Train Robbery.
It saw £2.6m of used bank notes looted from a train bound for Watford, which the gang loaded into a pair of Land Rovers.
The cash was never found, but it catapulted the robbers to fame. Ronald 'Buster' Edwards was played by Phil Collins in the 1988 film Buster, while Ronnie Biggs famously went on the run and fled to Brazil.
