BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera interviewed staff at the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
His programme reveals that a Soviet radio transmitter was found near Aberystwyth in the 1960s. .....
"This is a simple but robust radio transmitter discovered early in the 1960s in a field near Aberystwyth by a farmer who was ploughing his land," said GCHQ's historian, referred to as Tony during the programme.
"It had obviously been cached there by someone who was working for the Soviets. "Nobody has a clue who this belonged to, who it was serving, or even which bit of the GRU he was working for."
