A part of the obituary of former BBC Defence Correspondent Christopher Lee in today's Times, which passes without comment...
Meanwhile, [David] English had become foreign editor of the Daily Express and asked Lee to be deputy to Chapman Pincher, the paper’s defence writer. During this time he was recruited into the Royal Naval Reserves’ joint services intelligence wing, later becoming captain of HMS Wildfire, the wing’s communication branch at Chatham in Kent.
In 1976 he moved to the BBC as defence and foreign affairs correspondent, spending time in Moscow and the Middle East.
He left the BBC's direct employment in 1986.
