Overview

This is an excerpt from the 'Rick Gibson' profile at the former URG wiki, last updated in 2020. HN297's new profile will appear in due course.

'Mary', one of the four women who Clark deceived into a relationship, submitted a written statement to the Inquiry in 2018. Richard Chessum, who Clark befriended, gave live evidence in 2021. 

HN297 Richard Clark ('Rick Gibson' ) was a Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) undercover police officer. He joined the SDS in July 1974 and attended Goldsmiths college as a student, where he helped set up the South East London branch of the Troops Out Movement (TOM). He went on to take on roles at the national level in the organisation. 

Gibson then sought to become a member of Big Flame, but his lack of political background caused suspicion. Big Flame investigated and found out that Gibson had lied about where he came from and was using the identity of a deceased child. Confronted with these finding in 1976, ‘Gibson’ disappeared; the story was never published.

He has since died.
