Blood for the Baron!

I seem to remember that sea king story, was it mentioned in Ghost Squadron?

I think I might have got this documentary mixed up with sas the soldiers story. I remember they refused to show the IRA episode.
If memory serves the iranian embassy episode showed internal footage of a terrorist pulling a grenade while running down stairs and getting emptied by 4 or 5 troopers. I'll have to watch these when I get a chance. Thanks for posting.

By the way the book, sas a soldiers story, is a cracking read. Told from the troopers perspective, some cracking wee stories.

It was mentioned in Sandy Woodwards "100 days"

Should be in both. One of the Sea King pilots concerned has since written a memoire too. There is more general detail associated with an award given to one deployed without loss of transport. Although the transport concerned was not necssarily the same.

Correct on all counts. The Provo episode was indeed scrubbed at the last minute as the ceasefire had been signed. The book retained the broad overview of the B Squadron approach to related matters...

6 Days did not go on general release last year - was snapped up by Netflix sometime around the intended release date.

Apparently you can view it there:

On the watch list.....

I've just finished binge watching the Expanse over the last week. I should be right to go now.....
