C.Andrew,The Defence of the Realm, the Authorized History of MI5, A,Lane,2009,Pp 582-586: Ivor Gregory, UK aircraft engineer recruited an (unknown) aero-engine specialist, and sold to KGB, 1967-1982, 90,000 pages of technical documentation, inc. on Concorde, VC10, L-1011, BOl.593, RB211, Spey 505. His “material on flight simulators for L-1011 and 747 was believed to be the basis for a new generation of Soviet equivalents.” (Gregory died in 1982, undetected; Concorde sim was joint, Redifon (Crawley) and Singer/Link-Miles (Shoreham): they each did L-1011 and 747 sims.)
“By 1975 (KGB) had 77 agents…working against US science and technology targets, some inside…IBM, MDC, TRW (inc. its) Rhyolite spy satellite…The Pentagon estimated in the early 1980s that probably 70% of all current WarPac weapons systems were based in varying degrees on Western – mostly US – technology. Both sides in the Cold War…depended on US know-how.”

Missed this thread first time round. So he was collecting information to write a book and Boeing would have given him permission to publish secret information?:rolleyes:

Nobody was ever cought for the Concorde espionage were they?

Excellent!
We all lose too much of this sort of information to the competition and/or the enemy. This case just enforces the massive increase in getting IPR (Foreground and Background) written into contracts.
