During his working career Dommett attended a morris dancing event near Birmingham, unaware until his arrival that the dancing was taking place at a Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament rally. The event was monitored by the UK Security Service, and on his return to work the following week Dommett was interviewed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment security officer, and obliged to explain his presence at the rally.
