| The documents which
are shown below came about as a result of a letter by
the Young Liberals in St Albans who wrote to their MP -
Victor Goodhew - and enquired quite what involvement
British Forces had in Oman. He wrote to the then
Minister of Defence - Lord Balniel - who wrote back to
him outlining the situation. |

| The ministry of defence
then re-issued their "deniability" instructions. There
are many more examples of the Ministry's attempts to
keep a low profile for the operations in Oman by British
Forces and they appear in various other places in the
website. The blanket of secrecy had some other
unforeseen effects in that those returning from Oman
soon realised that those "at home" had little knowledge
and little interest or understanding of where they had
been or what they had been doing. |
