543 Squadron Valiants and the Official Secrets Act
I'm doing some research about the activities of 543 Squadron when they flew the Reconnaissance Valiant in the late 1950s/early 1960s with a view to writing an article. I have a number of contacts as the squadron has a very active association; but there are a number of missions/detachments etc which were of a fairly clandestine nature.
This has never been a problem when I've been writing about the USAF overflights etc in the same time scale; but I fear Brit red tape may be more obstructive. I'd like to find out.
Could anyone give me any details about how the Official Secrets Act works in relation to events some 50+ years ago; and if there is an organisation I could contact which could clarify this for me.
I think that the story of the squadron at this time would be an interesting one.
