"Does the SAS count?"
OK Karma, if you claim to be Ex SAS, 2 Questions - PM me the answers:-
1. what was the Lt Col in charge of the SAS in 1978 ?
Reason I ask is our house in Bodenham Road, Hereford (I think it was No 45, a 3 story house) was purchased by him in 1978 just prior to my father being sent to Australia.
If you don't know but are "in the know", then you can find out very quickly.
2. Regarding the Iranian Embassy, who was the SAS CT Team soldier was quite short but built like a Brick outhouse (ie very strong and wide) who participated in the Siege Breaking ???? (I have never seen his name published in any media that I have read whereas some of the participants names have been so don't go looking up Wiki).
And NO, I did not serve in the SAS but was present at a closed door briefing on the Iranian Embassy Rescue by him.
My apologise to Mmmmnice and other posters. I will refrain from deviating from Aviation in future.
