Background

John Ainsworth-Davis was the son of Welsh Athlete John Creyghton Ainsworth-Davis, who won a gold medal in the men's 4x400m relay in the 1920 Olympics. He notes that his father was congratulated in person by Sub-Lieutenant Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Duke of York (later King George VI) and his younger brother Prince Henry (later Duke of Gloucester).

Career

According to Op JB, John Ainsworth-Davis' career in the M-Section of naval intelligence began in March 1940, aged 15½, when he was recruited by Desmond Morton. By good fortune and skill he successfully carried out a number of dangerous assignments up to 1945, when - by his own account - he played a crucial role in the rescue of Martin Bormann from the Nazi bunker in Berlin just at the very end of World War II.

Writing

Under the pen name 'Christopher Creighton', in 1996 Ainsworth-Davis published three partially autobiogaphical books.

The Khrushchev Objective (1989)

'Christopher Creighton' and Noel-Hynd co-authored The Khrushchev Objective, published by Zebra on November 1, 1989. It is described as fiction and suggests that Mountbatten was assassinated not by Irish terrrorists but "for his role in preventing the assassination of Khrushchev during a summit meeting in England in 1956."

Op JB (1996)

Full article: Op JB

Op JB recounts his experience leading Operation James Bond, ordered by Desmond Morton, to recover the huge Nazi fortune which had been salted away by Martin Bormann, Hitler's private secretary. Ainsworth-Davis recounts that the operation was personally approved by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill, King George VI and US President Franklin Roosevelt, and was led by Ian Fleming and himself. OpJb became a bestseller in France and Germany. However, the publisher never reprinted further editions and it was never published in the USA.

The Final Mountbatten Report (2006)

Full article: The Final Mountbatten Report

From 1976 to 2006 Ainsworth-Davis wrote the first draft of The Final Mountbatten Report which describes the run up to Op JB. The lengthy writing time is explained by "the theft and sabotage of reference material amounting to tampered evidence, by what is today our Counter-Intelligence".

In 2006 John Ainsworth-Davis bypassed his high profile, award winning British literary agent and sent a draft manuscript to British Journalist Laurence de Mello aka Ami de Creighton in Buenos Aires, whom he brought in as co-author. He requested that Ami de Creighton help him get the manuscript into shape, finish the book and publish asap offshore and in secret. After anonymous threats from the UK to Ami de Creighton, three copies of the draft manuscript were placed in different safety deposit boxes in a Buenos Aires bank vault, until 2011 while de Creighton was working on the book. In the interim, in 2008, Ainsworth-Davis had a mysterious flood in his London home, where he kept all his papers and computers, which were damaged beyond repair. However, the original draft copies remained safe in Buenos Aires. Ainsworth-Davis then went 'off radar' for the next two years. In 2011 Ami de Creighton found what she believed to be a trusted historian/author/editor,^[Who?] who agreed to help edit and work on the index. He also suggested he add a small section at the back.

Publication problems

The book was published in July 2012 by a German publishing company with which the editor was a partner. When de Creighton flew a few months later to the UK to meet with John Ainsworth-Davis and the publisher, the book was not what de Creighton had agreed to. But it was too late to make changes as there were 2000 luxury hard copies already delivered from Germany to London and marketing was ready to go. Weeks later John Ainsworth-Davis's London book agent threatened to sue Ami de Creighton and intimidated his 87 year old client John Ainsworth-Davis, telling them that they could 'not publish anything again' about 'Christopher Creighton and his WWII operations due to an unconscionable contract forced on John Ainsworth-Davis in the presence of Ami de Creighton in September 2012. de Creighton argued that the publication of their book preceded the forced contract and that he could do nothing about it. (Ami de Creighton believes John Ainsworth-Davis's London literary agent, is an SIS asset who was controlling and continues to suppress information as to Ainsworth-Davis's true story).

Within weeks, the editor then curiously hijacked the book, making unauthorized changes and unlawfully placed it on his own website for sale. The editor also nominated himself as the author removed de Creighton and proceeded to make dire threats and libelous comments against John Ainsworth-Davis and Ami de Creighton.

John Ainsworth-Davis wanted to bring legal proceeding against the editor, but Ami de Creighton advised him not to as she suspected the editor had been 'bought' and this was just another operation to block and delay publication.

This idea is supporter by the fact that the editor damaged the credibility of the book by giving radio interviews during the marketing period, containing extremely graphic allegations of Lord Louis Mountbatten's supposed homosexual perversions. These were followed up by bizarre references to himself as The Lord Chancellor as he had done on the spine of the the book. He also made other radio interviews while de Creighton was closing retail agreements with Waterstones UK, in which he accused Ami de Creighton of being a 'Nazi' Intel agent and 'thief' and, along with John Ainsworth-Davis, part of a 2012 Nazi covert intelligence operation to subject him to mind ops and murder him.

The Mountbatten Report New (authorised) Edition (2015)

On May 29, 2015, an alternative version of The Final Mountbatten Report was published, by Ami de Creighton, as John Ainsworth-Davis might have wanted it. It is different from the earlier version. It was published by Goldeneye Publishing Ltd and is available for purchase from Lulu. The index and table of contents are available for preview from Google.

Unfinished Business

In September 2012 John Ainsworth-Davis entrusted Ami de Creighton with some unpublished documents for safekeeping. One of these documents is a letter from Lord Louis Mountbatten. On one other paper there were various scribbles and notes and an email address of a 'Jill Goulding'. At the time Ami de Creighton did not know why or for what reason this address was given to her and did not discuss, use, or refer to it, as she knew never to act on any information unless he gave her specific instructions. Her task was to safeguard such papers until such time..

It would not be till May 2014, months after Ainsworth-Davis's death, that de Creighton understood the massive significance of Jill Goulding's email address scribbled on the wrinkled paper and why he has given it to her.

Final months

In January 2013 John Ainsworth-Davis formally made Ami de Creighton his business partner and Producer for the original book OpJb 'The Khrushchev Objective' and other work. She agreed to protect his interests and help with exposing his true story. In August 2013, three months before his death, they set up a company with a third partner with a view to producing films and TV about his life and missions. In September 2013, knowing he was not in good health, he gave a 9 hour interview filmed over three days; where he speaks of Martin Bormann, the Dieppe massacre, The assassination of French Admiral Darlan and other controversial events with which he is associated.

John Ainsworth-Davis died in November 2013. Ami de Creighton continues to ensure his works are protected and that he will be vindicated as to his legitimacy.

THE JOHN AINSWORTH-DAVIS COMMANDER HAROLD GOULDING CONNECTION

In 2014 investigative journalist Laurence de Mello was approached by Jill Goulding, the granddaughter of Commander Harold Goulding DSO. After Jill Goulding had found a stash of 'Top Secret' and 'Most Secret' British naval intelligence files in her mother's attic, that had not been seen since Goulding's mysterious death in 1945. Within these files they discovered that John Ainsworth-Davis had been trained by Commander Goulding in small fast boats for covert ops.

Inside the stash of documents is also an original transcription of the Dieppe hearing held aboard H.M.S. Queen Emma, less than 48 hours after the slaughter of Canadian soldiers on the beaches at Dieppe. This transcript has the testimony of Commander Goulding who was in charge of the flotilla at Dieppe. Goulding speaks about the presence of MGB315 that was as yet unexplained. The presence of this British boat caused the delay which resulted in the massacre.

This document suggests that Ainsworth-Davis's account of this being a deliberate 'set up' by senior British figures a possibility.
