Did Jenkins Give NATO a ‘Headache’ That Lasted Long After His Imprisonment?
A lot will be written after the death of Welsh nationalist, John Barnard Jenkins, and it’s fair to say that his legacy and that of MAC will be remembered mainly in terms of the attack on the 1969 investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales.
However it is perhaps one of the last actions of MAC which will have given the British Government and certainly its Ministry of Defence even greater concern. This was the attack in 1969 on the South Stack communications relay station on Anglesey critical to communications to the Republic of Ireland but which also carried communications to the MOD and its installations in the six counties.
