Great finds, these. I knew the skylining thing rang a bell when I read it, but I didn't make the connection. I've also wondered if we'll see the dolphin ring again before the series ends. I did notice dolphins on the new map... coincidence?! I'm planning to re-read The Eagle of the Ninth and will report back if anything stands out to me in connection with Thick As Thieves (beyond the obvious themes MWT has already cited as inspiration)!
By the way, for the Sutcliff fans hereabouts, she wrote a memoir, called Blue Remembered Hills, that makes for a short but interesting read.
