SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS UNIT | ||||||
|
At the beginning of WWII, MI6 set up a section to look after radio communications. This "Special Communications Unit" was run by Brigadier Richard Gambier-Parry. It was based in the village of Whaddon. Headquartered at Whaddon Hall the SCU consisted of SCU 1, which was actually in Whaddon and SCU 3, which was based in nearby Horwood. These pages describe SCU activities as well as giving a flavour of the people involved. | ||||||
