The Cornish Branch Secretary Mike Chappel featured in Le Telegramme de Brest newspaper article last week about the loss of the Bugaled Breizh fishing trawler that was mysteriously sunk off the Cornish coast in 2004.

Breton journalist Pascal Bodere of the Telegramme newspaper visited Cornwall at the beginning of this month to conduct an interview with Mr Chappel about the erection of a memorial stone that is being planned on the Lizard coast at the nearest point to where the Breton boat was lost. All five crew members on board the boat were lost and the incident sparked strong speculation from the Celtic League and others that the sinking was the result of a NATO submarine exercise that had been taking place in the area at the time. The Celtic League pressed the British Ministry of Defence on the issue seeking clarification on the deployment of naval units at the time of the sinking.

The newspaper article featured a photo of Mr Chappel holding the Cornwall Branch flag and read as follows:

Mémorial en projet au Cap Lizard

Ériger un monument à la mémoire des marins du Bugaled Breizh sur les falaises du Cap Lizard. Tel est le projet porté par la Celtic League, un mouvement politique et culturel qui possède des sections dans les « pays celtiques » .

Outre Manche, la branche cornouaillaise est dirigée par Mike Chapell. Depuis Truro, cet ancien policier a lancé une collecte de fonds auprès des sympathisants de la League. Six cents euros ont déjà été collectés. « Ce mémorial sera une belle pierre gravée avec les noms des cinq marins inscrits dessus et le mot Bugaled Breizh, auquel sera jointe une phrase commémorative. Car Mike Chapell en est convaincu : « La Royal Navy cache la vérité dans cette affaire. Par le passé, il y a déjà eu ici des disparitions inexpliquées de bateaux de pêche et de pêcheurs dans des conditions similaires à l'affaire du Bugaled Breizh» .

Sous la photo est écrit : Mike Chapell estime qu'il y a eu une mise sous silence du gouvernement britannique sur l'affaire du Bugaled Breizh.
