Tim Dinsdale was one of the most dedicated searchers for the Loch Ness Monster. Between 1960 and 1987, he led 56 expeditions, most of them solo, mostly on water; and he helped many of the other people who hunted for Nessie during those years. He brought to his quest exemplary dedication, integrity and personal modesty. He took his quest seriously, but never himself: pursuing truth for truth's sake. Having become interested in the possible existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Dinsdale spend a year analysing the then available evidence. In 1960, with a borrowed camera and on the last day of his first expedition to Loch Ness, he filmed a large object that moved rapidly across - and at times just below the surface of - the water; an object larger than any species known to inhabit the Loch. Dinsdale spent the rest of his life in pursuit of the further evidence that would compel scientific acknowledgement and study of the Loch Ness creatures. He left his career in aeronautical engineering to make his living in ways that allowed him time for field work; but he persistently refused to derive any monetary gain from his work at Loch Ness. He influenced many people, through his example, through his actions, through his lectures and through his books.
