There was a 1975 radio drama about this on BBC 4, but it's been taken down from the web. The takedown was thorough. It's gone even from the Imperial War Museum site [1] and the Internet Archive [2].
The drama was very WW2 British: "A dreadnought of the airwaves!", delivered in the voice of an overweight aristocrat sitting in a wing chair in a club.
