I am currently working on a documentary about the above for UTV (the regional ITV station here)

We are trying to get it ready for the 40th anniversary in July of this year

If anybody on here wants to contribute and/ or has any photos of the time can they please contact me via this forum or email me asap on *info@northlandbroadcast.net* (without the *)

Thanks for now

I remember it well, after 40 years my memory is still as sharp as anything.

Yes Matron, I know I agreed to stop telling fibs and yes I will take my medicine now!

I do remember helping to set up a casualty board though as it was considered that PIRA might just fight back. Thankfully they did not and the board was not needed.

I remember seeing an Ulsterbus trying to take the piss out of a Cent.....no contest.
Scratch 1x Ulsterbus, 1x Commer Tipper, 22x Fridges and a shed load of paving slabs.

We should have been allowed to paint slogans on the Cents....
'The Duncairn Gardens Dozer' or 'The Flax Street Flattener'

It would have added a little spice into our humdrum lives and taken our minds off not
having enough fcuking Medals.

All you need to know is that they started firing first, especially the chap up the tree. I heard the machine gun fire myself.

According to Chalky, Seamus had an armalite on auto. Must be true I heard it in Gough barracks NAAFI.
