　　　 He''s definitely NOT James Bond - nor even Austin Powers. And now the world''s worst spy, codenamed Piglet, is facing 14 years in jail after bungling an attempt to sell secrets to the Russians.

　　　 Aircraft engineer Ian Parr, 46, tried to pass on secrets of seven sensitive projects for ￡130,000 to a man he thought was a Russian agent called Aleksei.

　　　 But it turned out that accident-prone Parr - once nicknamed "Hazard" by colleagues - actually handed over the secrets to an MI5 agent.

　　　 As the father-of-two sat in the pub drinking a pint of lager to celebrate the ￡25,000 he had just been given, police swooped and arrested him for spying.

　　　 But his troubles were not over.

　　　 While in Belmarsh Prison, the distraught keep-fit fanatic and rambler - who had given himself the codename Piglet - tried to kill himself.

　　　 He wired his spectacles to the mains to try to electrocute himself - but he only succeeded in leaving an outline of his glasses burned on to his face.

　　　 Parr had a reputation for being a bungler long before his spying attempt.

　　　 As a teenager, he joined the Army, where he earned his nickname Hazard.

　　　 An ex-colleague said: "If you wanted a job doing, Hazard would do it badly. He blew up the barracks washing machine by overloading it.

　　　 "He was forever injuring himself when loading shells into the gun turret of the tank. I lost count of the number of times I saw him with bandages and plasters on his fingers.

　　　 "You''d hear him clanging around and there''d be a yelp and he''d squeal, ''Oh b****r, my bloody fingers''. He''s very lucky to have all his fingers left."

　　　 Parr earned ￡25,000 a year at BAE systems. It is thought that he tried to make money from spying because of worries about redundancies at the firm.

　　英国一个给自己取名代号为“小猪”的航天部工作人员将情报卖给“俄罗斯间谍”——而实际上“俄罗斯间谍”正是军情五处的情报人员，他因此被捕，面临14年的监禁。

　　　 据报道，46岁的航空工程师伊安·皮尔将涉及7个敏感项目的机密卖给一个名叫艾里克斯的“苏联间谍”，以换取13万英镑的酬金。结果这个常常粗心大意、被同事取了个外号叫“冒失鬼”的家伙又一次出错——那个“俄罗斯间谍”是军情五处的特工。

　　　 他在得了卖情报的第一笔酬金2.5万英镑后，跑到一个酒吧里叫了一品脱的酒庆祝，就在这时，警察冲了进来将他逮捕归案。

　　　 他的麻烦还没完。被捕后，他将自己的眼镜伸入电源企图触电自杀，结果这事也没办成，更糟的是眼镜还在他的脸上灼了个大印。

　　　 据认识他的人表示，皮尔一直就是一个蠢蛋。他在十多岁时参军，就在那时得了个外号“冒失鬼”。

　　　 他的一个前同事说：“如果你想做一件事，‘冒失鬼’总能把它办得最糟。他让洗衣机超负荷运传结果弄得爆炸。在给坦克的枪支装弹时又不断地弄伤自己。我已记不清有多少次看见他的手指上缠着绷带或胶布了。总是在一阵丁零当啷的声音之后，听到他的惨叫：‘哎呀，我的手指！’现在他的手指还齐全已属非常幸运了。”

　　　 皮尔在航天部的年薪有2.5万英镑，据信他是因为担心裁员所以挺而走险。
