How was the East German Beer?

"I'll never forgive your mother for what she did". What hubris.

It sounds to me like Blake rendered many valuable services to Britain and was an excellent double agent infiltrator of the KGP. His escape to Moscow with the help of some pacifist beaniks, not as far as in known KGB agents, is was completely impossible without extensive MI% and MI6 complicitity. Definitely the British secret services wanted him in Moscow. But would the nritish allow the betrayal of hundreds of their agents in Moscow and the execution of many of them after Blake betrayed them? Absolutely. Espionage is an extremely ruthless business. Blake as a mole within the KGB was worth far more to the British secret services than hundreds of run-of the mill spies. In addition, the British secret services probably assumed, and probably correctly. that these presumed spies working for Britian were KGB double agents.

Learning about things from my youth.

This was terrific! Thank you!

26:36 - I think for 15 year old Gay to stay silent just shows that even as a teen she, at some level, understood the seriousness of the situation. Teenagers make light of everything - it's one of their trademarks - but they're also pretty smart and are catching on to the ways of the world, even if they don't consciously realize it. It was just something that was "big enough" that blabbing about it was unwise. I'm also not surprised that she didn't doubt the whole thing, in spite of lacking "personal evidence." Back then we hadn't gotten to this time of distrusting every move our government makes yet - people generally DID trust the authorities and took them at their word. It's really the way we all WISH things could be, but unfortunately our governments haven't behaved in a way that let us do it these days - there is so much more information (and disinformation) available to us now than there was then. It's not surprising how things have changed.

2:52 - What people tend to forget is that when you're just living life, usually you don't WANT there to be "exciting" things going on.

I was a technician at Baden Söllingen from 1979-83 working 1st line servicing (starts, turnarounds, daily inspections etc.) with 439 Squadron for 6 months on the CF-104. The rest of my tour was on T-33's & handling visiting NATO aircraft. It was quite amazing to see the amount of conventional ordinance the stubby winged bird could be loaded with. Much respect for our pilots who flew the low-level missions on a daily basis. 1st launch of the day was always out of a HAS (hardened aircraft shelter) & for the remainder of the day from whatever flight line was available on the squadron's dispersal or from the button in front of the HAS. During tactical exercises all launches & recoveries were in the HAS. The armourers would perform half a load & de-arm the same to simulate a full load. Their time was evaluated by a Tactical Evaluator. Everyone wore a NBCW suit with gas masks at the waist during the entire exercise. Even the pilots would wear their 'bunny suit' from the ops center bunker to the HAS where they took it off before climbing into the cockpit.

THERE ARE NO RULES ITS JUST EXPECTATIONS WRITTEN ON PAPER.... ALL SIDES ARE SEEKING THEIR INTEREST

I enjoyed this

Thank you for this. This may be the most complete recollection single source that I've heard about RCAF Starfighters in their initial nuclear role. It always amazed me to hear about their precision navigation to the second with just a strip map on their knees and the mark 1 eyeball at 500' and 500+ knots. Anyone who has flown even as a private pilot knows how challenging navigation can be at 500' and 100knots... amazing skills! And sadly, probably lost skills these days too. Thank you for your service and thank you for helping keep us safe.

Excellent, Thanks

Great story. My dad was stationed at Coldlake in the early 60's as 104 and Tudor mechanic.

Hello, as I recall the Germans had around 800+ F104s. They lost over 220 aircraft - mostly due to the fact that they insisted to have the 104 converted to a firghter/bomber. That took the weight from around 9,4 tonnes up to more than 11 tonnes which was too much for the small wings and made control very difficult.The F/A decision was typical for Germany - and costly for the pilot-community . . I served with the Canadian airforce in the mid 80s at Lahr airbase in the air transport section for a time. (5AMU)

Thanks!

Absolutely fascinating documentary.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Victor Rothschild and his wife were not Soviet spies. The book Spycatcher explained how much useful work Rothschild and his wife did for British intelligence. They were accused only because they were Jews and above all, because they were Rothschilds. Conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds antedate the 1930s by 150 years. THe Rothschilds were alleged to rule the world and were blamed for everything that was wrong in the world. The only reason for these conspiracy theories was that tthe Rothschilds were the richest Jewish family (not the richest family, period). in Europe.

Burgess and the others were almost certainly British double agents. Certainly the KGB or whatever it was called in those days. Certainly the Soviets suspected this. All of them were held in house arrest for five years after their arrival. Even after that they were held under a strict curfew, allowed to leave their rooms for only a few hours a day. It is amazing, given how many spies that the Russians supposedly had England, how little they learned about life in England in the thirties, forties and fifties. They didn't even learn much about how to run a nuclear bomb program. Nearly all of the Russian scientists who worked on the program, were exposed to radiation and died prematurely. By way of contrast, Very few of the scientists in Los Alamos were exposed to radiation. MI5 and MI6 obviously massively infiltrated Russian intelligence with phony English spies supposedly working for the Russians. While the Russians never learned much about what was going on in England, the Brits knew everything about what was going on Russia right up to the present.

Some layout or illustration of this "geography" would have been nice

American agents pressured doofusbaker to cancel the avro arrow so they could force this pile of garbage on Canada.

Every time I hear the name Trudeau, I throw up a little in my mouth. Thank you sir for your service. I very much enjoyed this.

But the Athlete's remained!

Interesting insight into an evil system.

An episode about the Museum of Communism in Prague would be great.

Inaudible

Brilliant Ian. It's always a pleasure to hear about Canada's Cold War.

Russia has no more need to destroy the UK as they now destroy it with Starmer.

FB 111. Please!

B29s off course? Bombed South Korean villages? Curtiss Lemay agreed in advance? Fiction or strange narrative?

Did she have a thick accent?

What did he think of Imperialist Airlift to Berlin or something. Stalin the victim.

Thanks!

Hard to listen to with all the music

Astounding insights

All the mummy boys reacting to a post made for them 😅

Your right, John, about the RSL. I got out in '75 and was told I didn't qualify then the 40 odd year " dance" with DVA....( I won't go on ...) Thanks for your service. (I was in Cav.)

These stories were a background for me growing up. Fascinating!

I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion, thank you

MI -5 sounds incompetent.

Did anyone ever ask where Helens accent came from?

If this interview could last for 4 hrs. .. I would be soooo in to it. 😊

So rare to hear the long term impact on a family caught up in events out of their control but forced to play a central role. I feel Mrs Search was utterly failed by authorities who seemed to offer no support to help her cope long-term, after the arrests were made. Shameful. A great programme which I'll listen to many times, thanks.

I would have liked if he was asked more about time in Northern Ireland. It must have been his most difficult posting.

Incredibly interesting interview! For anyone interested in this important cold war case it is a goldmine. When I learned years ago thar the daughter became a journalist I always thought it would be so interesting to hear her being interviewed. And now I encountered this gem. Thank you so much!
