Dericourt throughout WW2 worked for MI6 and his MI6 missions were never made known to S.O.E. Even the second in command of S.O.E - Harry Sporborg who had conducted an investigation into Henri Dericourt..stated..'There was no doubt in my mind Dericourt was employed by MI6 for missions which were outside the sphere of operations for S.O.E.'
Concering the alleged reported death of Henri Dericourt in a plane crash over Laos in November 1962.
It is widely believed by many people in the intelligence sector this was not true. Dericourt was a very good pilot, and of course no body was found in the wrecked plane.
There were reported sightings of Henri in the late 1960's in New York and the South of France, even in the Middle East.
With his experience of the Operations of Intelligence Organisations - it is believed he went to work for the Russians, he did have socialist views. No evidence ever surfaced concerning Henri Dericourt's whereabouts after his plane crash..
