For ten years, a spy operated in the midst of suburban Yorkshire. Secrets were passed to Soviet Bloc agents about Britain’s V-bomber’s radar-jamming device. But was the real spy the prime suspect - a Royal Air Force engineer? Or was the main player his beautiful, unfaithful wife?
The case was finally solved after Det Sgt Michael Burdis discovered the operation’s ‘dead-letter drop’ - the location where messages were passed between spy and handlers. In this podcast he speaks about the case publicly for the first time.
