Pigeons

Pigeons are mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.48.174.102 (talk) 17:23, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"She worked for K-branch against the IRA."

This sentence has no citation and is not elaborated, nor can I find other references to "K-branch" on Wikipedia or elsewhere.

The closest thing I can find is this FAQ from MI5, https://www.mi5.gov.uk/faq, which suggests that "K" was a shorthand for what later became MI5 ("Thereafter, Kell, or 'K', was responsible for counter-espionage within the British Isles while Cumming, or 'C', had responsibility for gathering intelligence overseas. The two divisions became MI5 and MI6 respectively."). But this would suggest there can't have been a "K-branch" of MI5, and at any rate the FAQ seems to indicate that this terminology hasn't been used since the 1940s ("the Director General of MI5 has not been known as 'K' since the 1940s"), long before Lady Manningham-Buller started working in intelligence.

TLDR: This sentence should either be cited and explained, or deleted. Mosi Nuru (talk) 17:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed for now until it can be properly sourced. Dormskirk (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
