Does anyone have evidence of which is correct? -- Smjg 17:18, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes! Nick Mason himself, through the medium of his book Inside out, states that it is 1944. I have removed the 'disputed' tag on the article and modified the 1945 and January 27 articles on the basis that the horse's mouth constitutes a pretty incontrovertible source. (And due to the lack of response to your perfectly valid query). --HighHopes 19:23, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
