MI5 Station Chief in Canberra Australia at the time that an unidentified body was found upon a beach in Somerton South Australia on the morning of the 1/12/1948, known as the Somerton Man mystery. Some have speculated that corpse might've been of a spy, due to a code found in a copy of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám that has a the words Taman Shud torn from it that is supposedly a match to the scrap of paper with Taman Shud written upon it found in the dead man's trousers. If the Somerton Man mystery is espionage related, then Robert Victor Hemblys Scales would of known about it.
