Entrance to the dockyard, Portsmouth
Entrance to the dockyard at Portsmouth, where Lieutenant Commander Lionel Kenneth Phillip Buster Crabb (1909-1956) disappeared on 19 April 1956. Crabb was a British Royal Naval frogman and MI6 diver (some would say sabotage agent and alleged double agent), who disappeared during a reconnaissance mission investigating the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze in Portsmouth Harbour. A body was found months later, but it was difficult to identify as the head and hands were missing. Date: 1972

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Entrance to the dockyard at Portsmouth, where a mysterious disappearance took place on 19 April 1956. The focus of intrigue is Lieutenant Commander Lionel Kenneth Phillip "Buster" Crabb (1909-1956), a British Royal Naval frogman and MI6 diver, who vanished during a reconnaissance mission investigating the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze in Portsmouth Harbour. Crabb, a decorated war hero and experienced diver, was believed to be a spy or alleged double agent, adding an extra layer of complexity to the case. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, with theories ranging from an accident during the mission to foul play. A body was discovered months later, but its identification was difficult due to the absence of the head and hands. This intriguing image, taken in 1972, transports us back to the tense and secretive atmosphere of the Cold War era, where the line between friend and foe was often blurred.
