Summer 1980. The village of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in Clwyd, North Wales, and a spy radio guessing game that had North Wales Police baffled.
Sleepy northern Welsh villages and Russian spies aren’t something you’d usually tie together but I thought I’d tell you a remarkable story that’s been largely lost to time.
In early June 1980, speculation was rife about a transmitter similar to that used in post-war espionage which was dug out of fern-covered virgin land during ploughing on a farm at Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant.
The object struck by the ploughshare sparked off a chain of events that brought spy catchers rushing to the lonely Welsh countryside.
The radio was discovered on a remote North Wales mountainside by 26-year-old Goronwy Morris while ploughing land at his father's farm at Pant-y-Maen.
It was about the size of a portable typewriter and was found buried two feet deep, was well-wrapped in a waterproof bag inside a metal box and was in overall good condition.
