On this day in 1977, ninety sets of Swedish identical twins travelled to Felixstowe for a brief shopping trip. The twins arrived on the Tor Scandinavia and were taking part in studies by researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, with scientists investigating links between the environment and human behaviour.
