What is the mystery of The Gaul
and its crew ?
The midnight sun sets over the Barents Sea where the Gaul
lies with her secrets of 28 years untold.
In The Gaul Mystery, Graham Smith, a journalist with over
30 years experience, explores the mystery surrounding the sinking
of the Gaul with the loss of all hands in February 1974 and the
secrecy surrounding it to this day.

Update 01/04/04: Towards the end of the public
enquiry we received an anonymous statement from a former Royal Navy
Chief Petty Officer about a conversation he overheard in the early
80s. We forwarded the statement to the enquiry and the Press.
The conversation claimed that The Gaul had been sunk by a nuclear
submarine.
Counsel to the Attorney General at the enquiry said it was “a
publicity stunt”.
Since then Mediaworld’s director Graham Smith has met the
former Chief Petty Officer. Here is the exclusive interview which we obtained. We have great respect
for all the Gaul families. It is not a publicity stunt. It requires
thorough investigation.

Update 28/09/04: Gaul enquiry reopens on October
8th to review information.
This is Mediaworld’s exclusive interview with former Royal
Naval Chief Petty Officer Derek Barron recorded in February 2004.
Unlike statements or telephone conversations it cannot be altered,
and we thought it right that everyone should have the benefit of
hearing it properly once again before the reopening of the Gaul
enquiry.
It is the honest statement of a man of courage and integrity given
exclusively to Graham Smith of Mediaworld. Gaul
