Malcolm Wainwright (born in the 1970s) was the grandson of Kathy Nightingale and Ben Wainwright.
Malcolm delivered a letter from his deceased grandmother, which she had written on 7 February 1987, to Sally Sparrow in the 2000s.[1] The letter explained that Kathy had been sent back in time to Hull on 5 December 1920 by a Weeping Angel. The Kathy in the present day was secretly witness to the delivery before she disappeared, and so knew when and where to send her grandson to deliver the letter.

Footnotes
- ↑ While Blink itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in 2007 and "twenty minutes to Red Hatching" a year later in 2008—as Kathy Nightingale's letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920", and the Tenth Doctor's side of his conversation with Sally Sparrow in 1969 happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the Redacted audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In Angels, Abby McPhail identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests 2009 as the year of the Red Hatching. In Salvation, the Thirteenth Doctor recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of Andy Proctor, who was last seen by his daughter Cleo "nearly 20 years" before 2022 according to Recruits.
