Operation Nimrod , 05,05,1980.To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of the 6 day Embassy seige I made myself two ‘Double tap’ lanyard cog beads . These are black g-10 liners to represent the black uniforms and H&K MP5′s of the 55 strong 22 SAS Regiment team .Gray g-10 liners were used to represent the SAS legendary beret and the gray of the Anti flash-hood’s they wore during the rescue . The central coloured g-10 liners represent Bravo ‘Blue’ team and Romeo ‘Red’ team who wrapped their H&K mags and respirator canisters in high vis coloured tape to help identify friend from foe . The last picture shows detail from the famous ‘Joker’ card hand drawn by Roy Thomasson who had been a Trooper on that day and is signed by my mentor Mel Parry who was Team leader of Bravo 4 ‘Blue team’ who assaulted the front balcony that day .https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/22SASCustom knives , sheaths and gear from [email protected] -- source link
