Forgotten Cargo./ Edward's Loot This story is an alternative but
possible true account of the reported sinking in 1942 of the ship
S.S. Politician. The ship was loaded with cargo destined for
Barbados this was the personal possessions of Edward, Prince of
Wales and Mrs. Simpson. The original story was written by Sir
Compton McKenzie who at that time was a member of the secret
service. His book Whisky Galore, later a film of the same name, may
have been a cover up. The Secret Service did in fact scupper the
ship and many artefacts and valuables were unloaded from the ship
prior to it being sunk, being part of the Windsor Protocol they
were secretly stored in the crypt of a house on a large estate near
Oban in Scotland and they were generally forgotten about until 2002
when they came to light and the establishment in London decided
that they should be moved South. (This could be fiction ) (Just
covering my back) Word of this leaked out to a group of Scottish
nationalist politicians who decided to employ a well known figure
in the Scottish criminal fraternity to put together a team of
international mercenaries to intercept the treasure and keep it in
Scotland. The violent outcome was reported as a large drugs bust of
International Drug smugglers?
