(A disaster waiting to happen; Crabb was unfit, overweight and gasping like a bellows - officially he met his end at the hands of Soviet clearance divers, but reports have him captured 'turned' and working as a Soviet frogman - this may be laughable until you see the laughable state of Soviet naval diving at the time; they quite literally had nothing at the end of the 2ndWW and the Crabb incident lit up the switchboards at the highest levels - if it was possible to stretcher him back to the USSR it just remains possible; especially if you watch watch happened to their dive gear and practices immediately afterwards... as for Pan?; my shelf groans with these beauties - you can't have grown up in the Seventies and not fall for these marvellously coloured, attractive covers. Don't tell the M.O.D., but a few of them contain slightly naughty secrets that wouldn't get past the censor today... as for benzedrine - (Benzedrine and champagne... never again!) I was, in another life, handed some white tablets by our M.O. before a two week exercise. I didn't sleep a wink for seven days - ending up wired, unable to relax and in a state of delusion - I seriously thought we were at war until I was able to 'decompress'. Scary things, those pills!.

Unlike Thunderball, the operation itself was a disaster and Crabb unfortunately met his end in mysterious circumstances while investigating the Soviet ship Ordzhonikidze during an official visit by the Soviet leader Khrushchev to Britain.
