Is the system clock set to UTC? $ cat /etc/default/rcS

You should see a line
UTC=yes.

A good point.  It currently reads:

UTC=no

I don't know if this matters, and with a tz of London it shouldn't
account for 5 hrs.

Agreed. It's certainly a very bizarre problem, and one which I have a) not encountered before b) have no rational explanation.. :(

Is 09:45 the time the process starts

Bang on, 09:45:01 it starts. You can see the process start and is written to the cron.log output at the same time. Though, it's recorded as starting at 04:45, which is clearly very wrong.

I'll put a change in to switch the box to UTC, if the list things it would be a prudent step?

Appreciate your reply.
