The interest stems from a book that has just been published called the “Berwyn Mountains Incident: Revealed” It uses an MCA letter as proof that this event happened. The story goes that operation photoflash took place to flush out ufos from beneath the sea. As I said in a previous post I am not really that interested in the ufo part of the story as I do not think this happened. I am however interested in finding out if operation photoflash took place.
Here is an extract from the MCA letter
"During the late afternoon early evening of 23 January 1974 there was an exercise from the Jerby Range on the Isle of man.
The exercise was called photoflash and coastguards were advised to expect at least ten aircraft taking part and at least 80 flashes anywhere around the Liverpool Bay area and the North wales coastline."
The book also says a Harrier jet was brought down during the incident but I can find no aircraft crashes for that date.

Haraka - "rarely used" - I wish! We all went to Otterburn, Sennybridge, Stanford, Nordhorn, Sennelager, Catterick, Suippes, and Feldom (wherever that was) far too often, and with very mixed results.
PS Forgot Meppen - wasn't that where the crew had a Decca lane-slip and brought back pictures of a village street?

Firstly, none of the Berwyn Mountain Incident witnesses were formally interviewed by ufologists until at least twenty years after the event. And secondly there had been at least one other event in the locality which contained all those elements. On 12th February 1982 an RAF Harrier jet carrying top-secret equipment crashed on Cader Berwyn.
