Brian Field

Who is Brian Field?

Brian Field was a solicitor's clerk who was one of the masterminds of the Great Train Robbery. He was the crucial link between the key informant known only as "Ulsterman" with the actual gang capable of planning and carrying out such a complex and large scale robbery. He was found guilty of "Conspiracy to Rob" but this was later overturned on appeal. Field only served jail time for "Obstruction of Justice" in relation to arranging the purchase of Leatherslade Farm, which was used as the gang's hideout.
