... , and Ralph Noyes, respond to public inquiries. The knowledge of these individuals is limited and their responses consequently sometimes inaccurate. Contrary to claims made by Air Staff 2 (a) that they are privy to all UFO reports, there is a component within the MOD which deals with more serious aspects of this subject. On October 23 1989, in the course of one of my investigations, I contacted this particular MOD section. After the preliminary conversation I was asked if I was prepared to sell my investigation report to them ...

... much about, I approached the book expecting little. Discovering it had begun as a PhD reduced my expectations even further. In fact it is a fascinating read. If, like me, you had vaguely assumed that the defence sector was a cosy racket involving the MOD and the manufacturing companies ripping-off the tax-payer, you will discover that you were right; and with this book you will have the evidence to back-up your prejudices. Here, with some subheads, are the bits I text-marked on my way through it. St. ...

... taken Sebastian's information to the Ministry of Defence in private. They later informed her that, following consultation with the US Department of Defense officials, no record of the mission had been found. Clearly this was no denial. Moreover, the official who responded to the MOD enquiry was Bernard Rostker, the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illness. Hardly the person one would expect to be privy to top secret information on a sensitive CIA operation. Besides, I was to later learn that Black Cat almost certainly was subject to a 'compartmented ...

... 4 Field Survey Troop, Royal Engineers, but denied the presence of the other, Northern Ireland Training and Advisory Team. Other than confirming that 4 Field Survey Troop were in Northern Ireland when and where Holroyd said they were, no further information was forthcoming, the MOD replying, through junior minister Roger Freeman, that 'Detailed information on this unit, which is not now deployed in the Province, is not available.'( [11]) Fast forward to 2006 and researchers in the national archives have discovered a 1974 army ...

... . Nonetheless this line is at the heart of both of the Bruce and Urban books. Urban is an interesting figure. A sometime full-time soldier, now with the BBC, Urban affects not to be just the traditional defence correspondent, dependent on the droppings of the MOD press office. He notes in this book that while he was entitled to non-attributable briefings from the MOD, he chose not to have them while writing it. While non-attributable briefings are hardly a secret, the well-behaved media servant of the British state doesn't generally mention ...

... for Information Policy from 1971. Peter Broderick's re-organisation of the Army Information Services, which transferred me to Information Policy, was, as he told the Civil Service Appeal Board, simply making formal an arrangement that had existed on an informal basis for several years. The MOD and the security services had, therefore, three years experience of my work with that unit before I was formally transferred to it on promotion. It is significant that neither MOD nor the security services prevented that transfer. p. 160 'Clockwork Orange attempted to link ...

... which case an appropriate course of action would be to sink the ship and return to sort out the problem after the war. I talked to the researcher later that night, pointing out this possible line of argument, and he said he would go back to the MoD the following morning, a Saturday, to check it out. This he did, as Newsnight was at the time broadcasting seven nights a week, but the MoD immediately returned to the original story of the ship sinking of its own accord. The researcher later ...

... at the University. He was charged with passing on British Intelligence assessments of a KGB network operating in Britain, and of disclosing details of the expulsion of three Soviet diplomats from Britain in Apri1 1983. Soon after the court appearance (Bettaney was on loan to the MOD) a government spokesman stated that no one had been expelled from the country. True, but a few days earlier Mr Guennadi Saline (codename 'Silver') First Secretary and Press Attache to the Soviet Embassy in Dublin, was expelled from Eire, as were ...

... hint about Northern Ireland, the programme treated them almost as if they were A and R men who had declined to sign The Beatles. But even if they had pursued the Wilson steer towards Wallace, in 1976/7 finding him would have been difficult: the MOD has parked him in Preston. Had they found him, Wallace says today:'...if I had been made aware that the former PM had asked Penrose and Courtiour to contact me about the "plots", then I would certainly have used that opportunity ...

... , most apparently conned in one way or another by false accounts of what would be done to them when they got there. And when some of the soldier subjects got ill, began complaining and trying to find out what had been done to them, the traditional MOD cover-up was put into place. Another shoddy story in a long line of shoddy MOD stories. This is the first study of its kind; and, given the detail Evans has presented, possibly the last. As the pioneer in this field Evans was undoubtedly ...
