Intelligence CorpsI haven't made much of a contribution to the Forum recently but, with one or two honourable exceptions nor has anyone else. My excuse is that I have been occupied on another project which nstarted as a mouse and has ended ujp an elephant.I am involved in trying to get 'Sigint' (yes, that's us) better represented in the Intelligence Corps Museum. When asked "is there anyone famous that we could approach to help with the cost?" I started on finding this out. We all know the usual names that are mentioned - no! Dirk Bogarde was not in the Corps but was on photo intelligence, but I have now dug out from the newspapers a list of some 550 chaps who started their careers in the Corps (or even transferred into the Corps) and made a contribution. Its fascinating, going from Abba Eban the Israeli Foreign Minister to Dereck Hatton of Militant Liverpool fame. I don't think the Langeleben Forum is the place to display it (I may be wrong) but should anyone like to see it please email me on paul.croxson@ntlworld.com and I will be delighted to email it to you. All you will need is excel. This will come as a great shock to my old mate Pete Ellis who will never believe anything useful could have come from the 'Fairies'. Good morning Pete, I hope all is well. MIke rang me last month. Going back to the beginning, not many of them made a fortune so the chances of getting much help from them are small. |
