It's hardly new "news" - it was covered extensively in both John Akehurst's book "We Won a War" and Ian Gardiner's (much) more recent "In the Service of the Sultan".
Both well worth reading but I think the former is OOP. There was also a David Shepherd painting: "Action at Mirbat". And on the heli side of that Op, a future two-star and a future one-star were involved IIRC.....
But no-one knew about the Dhofar war, cos it was before CNN was invented ....
Edited to add: the Shepherd painting
