Regent's Park Barracks

By the time Liz arrived at the house next to the embassy, David had already been involved in planning the assault, but neither of them knew that it would be all over in just a couple of days.

So we were in the building next door being briefed on what was happening within the Iranian Embassy, but then we would go back to Regent's Park Barracks, and somebody was assigned to us, and we were driving these buses.

And now again, I did not, A, have any understanding of SAS tactics of a house assault 'cause we didn't do house assaults at that stage, you know.

Um, and but it- they were old army buses, and we had to park them with utter precision.

There was another fear.

What if the larger animals escaped? The horse guards came up from Albany Barracks.

Police arrived.

The fire brigade arrived.
