Joint Intelligence Centre
The UK governments reaction to Operation Felix was the formation of the 128th Liaison Delegation Party, early 1941. In the event of a German invasion of Spain to attack Gibraltar, the missions objective was to be the advance liaison party of any British force sent to help Franco resist the Germans. Franco had intimated to the British Ambassador (Sir Samuel Hoare) that he would welcome such help. Upon arrival in Gibraltar the team became known as the Joint Intelligence Centre.
