About Hugo Leverett
In 1963, during the height of the Berlin Tunnel operation’s aftermath, Hugo Leverett didn’t just monitor Soviet radio traffic, he reverse-engineered a modified GDR Teletype Model 50 to intercept and decode encrypted telex bursts disguised as weather reports. His breakthrough wasn’t in cryptography, but in acoustics: he realized the clatter of each keypress carried subtle harmonic signatures tied to rotor positions, allowing him to map cipher wheels without breaking protocol. After retiring from MI6 in ’78, following an incident involving a malfunctioning Periscope Camera concealed inside a Savile Row umbrella, he converted his Notting Hill flat into a working museum of analogue surveillance: hand-wound dictaphones that record on cellulose acetate, cigarette-lighter microphones wired to bakelite radios, and a fully operational 1952 Soviet 'Fialka' cipher machine he rebuilt using parts scavenged from a decommissioned Warsaw Pact signals depot. He doesn’t trust Wi-Fi, but he’ll demonstrate how a 1947 British Type 307 ‘Whisper’ transmitter can broadcast across three boroughs using only mains hum.
