Default Re: Secret History of GCHQ

To Dave W, was the man you spoke to Les Hare? Les lived at the original Naval listening station site, the house/building was wired in a manner of a naval ship. Les said all the sockets were naval ship type. Les had an excellent collection of very early radios, maybe fifty or more with lots of spare components. All was individually sold by auction 20 or more years ago, the family just wasn't interested. Also as Barretter has already mention the Cuban crisis story was some what embellished. Nothing mentioned about Turkey.
