• Mi5 Planted Secret Surveillance Equipment [...]

MI5 planted secret surveillance equipment to scrutinise at least five prime ministers and Cabinet ministers between 1963 and 1977, says the Mail on Sunday. This was done on the instructions of Tory premier Harold Macmillan and the exercise was ended by Labour's James Callaghan. Apparently the story should have appeared in Professor Christopher Andrew's official history of MI5 in 2009, but was removed by Cabinet Office officials. Do we believe MI5 isn't bugging prime ministers and their colleagues any more? To safeguard our democracy, I'd like them to eavesdrop continually and leak details -- when they are perceived to be in the public interest -- to the newspapers.

The aircraft is the size of a medium range bomber, with huge grey wings stretching 70ft across the hangar. It looks for all the world like any conventional aircraft - the wings, the nose, the wheels are all familiar. The engineers standing in front of it are dwarfed by its bulk. Modules beneath the wings can carry air-to-ground missiles and precision-guided bombs. Other racks on the nose can carry surveillance equipment so advanced it can decrypt and listen to mobile phone messages instantly as it flies over, at heights of up to 60,000ft. It takes a while for you to notice the most important fact - there is no cockpit. There are no windows anywhere on the craft, - and no doors. The Mantis carries no human crew - one of the reasons it can stay airborne for 24 hours. The plane is controll...

• My Week

Barry Jones, managing director of Ilkeston-based autogyro manufacturer Gyrojet, tells us about his week MONDAY It is an interesting day as we have a meeting with the National Policing Improvement Agency. At our Ilkeston base, we are developing an autogyro, which is a lightweight rotary aircraft. Ours is designed to carry sophisticated surveillance equipment. Helicopters cost a lot of money to fly and maintain. Our aircraft will be about 80 per cent cheaper than a helicopter and produces only 20 per cent of the carbon emissions. The meeting goes very well. After the meeting, we brief everyone back at base before getting a call from Belfast asking if we can be there tomorrow for a meeting. Because military and civil surveillance is quite sensitive, meetings have to be held face to face so...
