Havent really got many bad memories of the tours apart from a couple of fatalities but luckily the fellas i had with me were pretty switched on.Belfast is a pretty high octane tour but at least you have to be on the ball all of the time.

Great to see different times over there and if we have a generation seeing the better side hopefully it will hold.

Wow, a few familiar locations on there!

Did you ever spend anytime in the silver city . I was there for a year 71/72 . The paras were doing the guard as they had been pulled of the streets for being to robust . I was sent there directly after operation motorman . BFPO long kesh mill .

No, I was based outside Belfast but my work was in and around the place. A lot of it was up North while I was there (00-02) due to the rioting around the time of the Holy Cross disputes.

 

Got all over the province while I was there though, I think I visited every single active security force base at one time or another and most of the PSNI stations.
