The images were from Gatwick Airport as suspects Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov (not their real names we're told) arrived from Moscow to assassinate Sergei Skripal, according to the British authorities.
When you first see the CCTV images, the men do seem to be standing in the exact same spot, at the exact same time, down to the second.
Some, mainly those who are struggling to accept the constantly changing official version of events, rushed to conclude that the footage must have been doctored.
However, if you look very closely, you can see that they are actually different corridors. The actual give away that the two men are in different spaces is in the bottom right hand corner, where there are different markings on the wall.
Part of the confusion is that both men seem to have reached the exact same spot at the same time.
Part of the confusion is that both men seem to have reached the exact same spot at the same time. But well-drilled soldiers from Russia's military intelligence service should be marching in lockstep, after all.
The two men showed very little else to suggest they are highly trained operatives, what with booking direct flights from Moscow, seemingly smiling at every CCTV camera in the south of England, and dropping the evidence where anyone could stumble across it. At least they can march in time.
So if we zoom out and get a total view of the placard on the wall, I suspect it's more of a square or rectangle with a thick red top and a red border. Looks like it could very well be the same item in both photos, just a further up view.
