After a somewhat confusing AfD, I've made a new article from scratch. Janweh64, since you started the first article, do you have other sources that should be incorporated here? Not being an admin I unfortunately can't refer to the page history now that it's been deleted. In either event, I hope this new start is a help. Anyone is of course very welcome to expand on it.

There is some inconsistency around the dates given in the sources about the Petrov affair. Finding more sources could help to make this clearer. Otherwise we have the option of being a little vagure to avoid being inaccurate. I've bolded the dates currently in the article.
Since the ADB is the odd one out regarding the defection, I went with Manne for the date of the first meeting too. Mortee ( talk) 22:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Worse, there's also inconsistency about Dr. Beckett's occupation. In MOAD he's Bialoguski's dentist. In Manne (p20) he's a specialist eye doctor who shared premises with Bialoguski and diagnosed Petrov with neuro-retinitis. And there's inconsistency about whether Bialoguski was fired for petitioning the Prime Minister about his supposed mistreatment by the ASIO ( Guy1999, p139, McMillan and Mckenzie p.192) or resigned directly to Spry (Manne 2014, p19). Most of this can just be left out, but the sources that mention Bialoguski being fired give that as the reason for him threatening to go to the papers, which is when Ron Richards calls Spry, so it's a little more difficult to get around. Still working on it. Mortee ( talk) 23:50, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

... Ron Richards (pictured) was in charge of Operation Cabin 12, the defection of Soviet spy Vladimir Petrov on 3 April 1954.
Turns out the picture is not eligible. The original with the Petroves won't be deleted, but my cropped version might get deleted. I am in talks with the State Library of New South Wales to obtain the license for one of these [1] [2] [3]

The ADB ref says he retired 1969. Do any others say 68? JennyOz ( talk) 01:30, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
