When Prof Sir David Omand joined GCHQ as a raw recruit in 1969, because it was such a secret organisation, he had little idea of what the hush-hush British intelligence and security agency actually did but he had embarked on a glittering career as a public servant, taking him into the worlds of secret intelligence, foreign affairs and security.
