Operation Nimrod - 40 years ago today

[GeeRam]

Still seems like yesterday, sitting with my old man watching the snooker final when they interrupted the coverage to go live to the Embassy.

First thing the old man said, when the first black figures appeared was...

"Bet Dusty didn't think it would actually come to this when he rang Hereford last week"

Dad was a Met Police Dog Handler as well at the time and the story of the phone box call to the Regt had already circulated within the Dog Section

Dad and Dusty were both in the Met's Police Dog Demonstration team and I can remember him well, as I used to go to most of the shows they did with my Dad. He'd be 90 odd now if he's still alive, as he was about 4/5 years younger than my Dad.
