Was compensation demanded from the USSR for damage caused here, to farming in N Wales for example?
Or was it not legally possible or unrealistic?

I also understand that the farmers need to obtain a licence every time they want to move their sheep and call in Government inspectors to scan each animal before it can be sold. They are paid �1.30 compensation for each sheep scanned, the same as in 1986 - but again this is from our own Govmt.

I appreciate the pracftical considerations of poverty and so on, but legally, Governments are usually unconcerned with 'life and hard times'. They want satisfaction - even if it's is impossible in practise, at least initially.
Take the Corfu Channel incident, where the British government held out for compensation from a dead-beat country for many years, (settling, if memory serves) by deducting a smaller amount from Albania's gold which we held, before it was given back, many years after the submarine's sinking.
