So the guys on 75 Scotland all knew me.

So they didn't think it was unusual that I was there.

And they actually called on me once before this to – it was a triad exercise and they were short of officers and they wanted an intelligence officer to go.

So I went up and worked on that.

So some of them knew I was in the service, but they didn't know what the rest of this was about.

They didn't know anything about me being –

working overseas, nothing about the agency, didn't know that I actually ran a business.

It was all compartmentalised, so we were able to do that.

Oh, there's always someone with me.

New Zealand did look at the F-16s, but that was much later.

But yeah, there was talk about it then, but at this time we were talking about replacements for the A-4, and so it worked.

Yeah, it's a long game.

You've got to play a long game.

It hasn't changed since they were wheeling horses into Troy.

You know, the intelligence work goes on and on.

But, yeah.

There's an Agatha Christie story on that.

So done in the 30s where they, you know, the story had them getting technology to the Germans that was dead-end technology.

So this is not new, probably being tried in intelligence research.

surfaces all over.
