Operation Candid
- ... plans were developed in 1962 to evacuate the British royal family in the event of nuclear war?
- ALT1:... that in the event of nuclear war Queen Elizabeth II would have hidden on the royal yacht off the coast of Scotland?
Created by JeanPassepartout (talk). Self-nominated at 07:35, 3 April 2017 (UTC).
Article is new and long enough, no copyright problems, and this is the creator's first DYK nomination, so QPQ not necessary yet. Hook is interesting - I'd never heard of the name and only vaguely of the operation (I might be getting confused with something else) My concern is that some of the facts in the article do not appear to be in the sources given; for example the article mentions Balmoral Castle with a citation to the Daily Telegraph piece, but the castle is not mentioned in the source.
