Operation Clockwork Orange - Secret Military Coup Against British Prime Minister

In June 1974, British troops suddenly took over Heathrow Airport in London. Prime Minister Harold Wilson was not informed. Wilson suspected that this was the latest action in a plot against him by a shadowy conspiracy of intelligence agents, retired senior military officers and right-wing journalists including such famous figures as Lord Mountbatten, the current King Charles III's great-uncle. Many suspected that Harold Wilson was a Soviet agent. Was Wilson right to fear a military coup, something hitherto unheard of in modern Britain? Evidence suggests he may have been right.
