Not sure how true it is BUT I live about a mile from Filton
and in an
area where there were a lot of people who worked on the
project. When
new neighbours moved in next door about ten years ago they
started
stripping wallpaper and found a thin wire similar to a radio
aerial
running round the picture rail of a back bedroom...........
One of the
previous owners was an aircraft engineer.

the capability unless there was a huge room full of people
involved each listing on a different freq.
Used to be that way. Pfc's with a tape recorder were cheap.
