40 years ago - Iranian Embassy Siege started.....



Didn’t they have to stop one of the soldiers who was dragging a surviving terrorist out in the garden to finish him off? Sure he was ushered away and advised it might not be wise
Apparently he was unaware that the whole thing was being broadcast live. Not a good idea to execute someone live on national TV.
 
Story that tickled me...

Hereford has a sprog clerk attached to them. The lads on the teams wanted to skiff him. They told him they were one bloke short for the assault so he’d have to come along too and fill in. They had him going through entry drills, room clearance drills etc until the last minute. Apparently he was game as a badger but went a little white when they told him it was a joke.
