"16 hrs in the dog section at Stormont while Bertie Ahearn & Tony Bliar argued with the locals inside"
I was there too! Seems like there were a few of us (well 2 crews worth) on those illustrious days. Watched Ian Paisley incite a riot about 50m away from me, with only a 6' wire fence between us, then the press turned up and he 'calmed the crowd down' by appealling for reason and sensible behaviour. Hypocrite....
I remember the race track down by Upper Lough Earn, and the teepees, and the boat house by the Lower Lough that supposedly had naturists living in it (never saw ought though). Happy hours in the mess - any night of the week, with mess cannons bringing the RAFP running and motorbikes in the bar......managed to stack mine into the thorn hedge by the Lair, with a Flt Cdr on the back.
Seems like every time I went back, the threat had never been higher though!
Them wer't days.....good to have been involved though.
