Now who was leading Britain in 1982?
An urgent Whitehall search of the records was ordered. The Ministry of Defense said they could find no evidence to substantiate the rumors of a secret munitions store.Thirteen paragraphs in. As usual, innuendo and one-sided sourcing from the Manchester Guardian.
The Royal navy also attempted to destroy the wreck in the 1950s. Again, odd behavior.
