In the early 60s my mother, Margaret, was in charge of a small group of women monitoring global communications at GCHQ in Germany. She, like my father, was a member of the RAF at the time.
Imagine her surprise when they accidentally found themselves listening in to a call from Richard Burton, in the US, to Elizabeth Tailor who was in Cairo for the filming of the motion picture 'Cleopatra.' Apparently they were having an affair and no one else in the world knew, not the press or their family and not even Eddie Fisher, the singer to whom Taylor was married at the time.
