Opera explores RAF base arson and Welsh nationalism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the early hours of 8 September 1936, three middle-aged academics with no prior history of criminality trudged through a field, armed with petrol cans, to set fire to an RAF bombing school. This was arguably the event that placed Welsh nationalism on the map, with reportedly 20% of the population coming out in support, one historian said.
