Members of the Portland Spy Ring, they were probably the most capable spies ever caught. Had MI5 not been following Gordon Lonsdale , head of the spy ring,

Walk Avebury to
Stonehenge Rene took this 25-mile walk through Stone Age, Saxon and Norman England in 1971 revealing his great love of the English countryside.
'This is the kind of country I like best-it's vast, empty and remote -beautifully shaped like a huge piece of sculpture and silent except for the larks and curlews and the wind in the grass.'
Producer The Codebreakers BRUCE NORMAN
Producer A Country Walk DAVID SPIRES
