The Premiere Documentary

\n\n

In April 1966\, a Soviet Yak 28  \;&ldquo\;Fire Bar&rdquo\; aircraft plunged into Lake Havel\, crashing in the British Sector of Berlin. What followed was far more than an aircraft recovery.

\n\n

With the wreckage laying tantalisingly close\, Britain saw a rare intelligence opportunity. Tasked with coordinating the recovery was BRIXMIS &mdash\; the British Commanders&rsquo\;-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany.

\n\n
