Early Warning.
On the street in Riyadh, about now 30 years back,. phoning home. As the payphone swallowed the row of coins along its top rack Mrs M said "" there is a scud inbound to you". "Must be a mistake love, it's all quiet". "I can see it on CNN as we speak" she said. Sudden winding up of air raid sirens. "I'll call you back" I said.

In case it's faded into memory, there was a Second Supplement to The London Gazette, dated 28th June 1991 (Number 52589) which gives a great overview of the whole of Op Granby. Thud and Blunder, our contribution gets a mention on what shows as page 44.
Apologies, I can't post the proper link as I haven't reached the magic number of posts yet, but a google search should bring the document up.
