That 1st photo is interesting. Paul looks so much smaller than John. Look at the size of his head & face, compared to John's. Paul's shoulder is an inch or two lower than John's shoulder is.

Plus his hands and wrist are small compared to John's. So what double was this 1,2 or

That is definitely NOT Bill. He's too small a person. It had me fooled. I didn't know it was from the MMT launch party. I thought it WAS PAUL !!! Especially in the last photo that lenmac posted. This guy is not much taller than Jane. That is so WEIRD !!!

I thought so! You've kinda ruined one or two of your arguments by falling for that! That 1st photo is interesting. Paul looks so much smaller than John. Look at the size of his head & face, compared to John's. Paul's shoulder is an inch or two lower than John's shoulder is. Shows you (not digging at you intentionally lili) how people can still not believe PID, they get confused....

That man in the First pic as well as the other pic from another person, is not Bill, it's not JPM. It's one of our other Faul candidates...Because I've seen pics of Bill with Jane and he's at least a head taller than Jane. So that's definitely not Bill.
The burning question is this? Which Faul is this? Joey? Dino? Or some Mystery man?

Plastic Paul posted: That is so true. It does make it harder for us. As I've already stated, until recently, I hadn't even entertained the thought that there might've been two living breathing "Fauls". I knew that there were vocal doubles, & a stand-in here & there. I thought that they might've had some kind of try-out to determine who would get the job. What I didn't take into consideration was that there was more than one man impersonating Paul. The man at this party is smaller than Bill. It's obvious, as he's also smaller than John. He really doesn't appear to be that much taller than Jane. T.I. suggested that Jane might've been wearing very high heels. Look this photo over again carefully: The tallest person in this photo is John. How high are his heels ? Does anyone have any information about this party ? Is there an article that goes with these photos, that identify them as coming from the MMT launch party ? The photo that I have from this series had something about Halloween as it's "name". Now to completely confuse everyone, I'm going to post a photo that I've had for quite sometime. I never posted it anywhere, because I couldn't make any sense of it. Here it is: Are they all looking at a photo of Ringo's " Aunt Jesse" ? That is Paul in the background. I wish I remembered where I found this photo.

Mine came from Pete Shotton's book "The Beatles Lennon and Me".

Im not sure where mine came from, but I found this info about the party:
Dec 21 Westbourne Suite, Royal Lancaster Hotel. Fancy-dress party to celebrate the BBC transmision of `Magical Mystery Tour'. All Beatles attend.

That would be 1967. Thank you, lenmac. That does show that the event took place after Paul's disappearance.

By the way, in that costume pic, there's an older man in an admiral's hat behind them, Is this Admiral Halsey?

I don't know Rita. That is a good question, though. I still can't get over the smaller man imitating Paul. I wish we had a better idea who he was.

Well, it definitely is someone shorter than Bill. And you can't say John, Ringo and Jane were all wearing high heels or lifts. But it could be a longshot that they did to make it appear the Faulguy is relatively the same height as the others.

Actually, I do think Lennon was wearing boots. His posture seems to suggest it and it would match the jacket.
If that's really Lennon, that is.
I do know Lennon was around later that night to perform.

Even wearing high heels, Jane has always been much shorter than Bill. Not in these photos. In these photos, Faul doesn't look much taller than Ringo.I hesitate to make this suggestion, but could it have been Neil Aspinall ? After all, he was about the same height as Paul, with approximately the same build.

At this point, I would not be surprised at anything.

There are two possibilities here:
1) Bill is leaning back and therefore making himself look shorter.
or..
2) the photo has been doctored and they removed Bill's head and neck and shrunk it and placed it back on his body. Or they completed eliminated a section of his torso to make him shorter. Honestly it even looks like part of his neck is missing.
It's still Bill imo. You can tell that the man behind John could be taller than him by looking at the knee bones and the belts. Bill's are much higher than John's.

They can doctor with the pictures, but it doesn't change the fact PID.

As I've already stated, at this point I would believe anything. I have always thought that his head looks too small on his body in the pic of him with his arm around Jane's shoulder. Maybe it's because part of his neck is missing.
