I remember those events like they happened yesterday; a remarkable assault and rescue.

I'll be seeing that film when it comes out.

This reminds me of a similar SAS movie which is one of my favorites - The Final Option

I missed the assault, it was a holiday here and I was out of the day
Mind you, I was only 18 or so

Jamie Bell plays Rusty Firmin in the movie.
Rusty is a pal of one of my shooting friends, they served together in N Ireland

Rusty is noticeable in the raid as he became known as "The man with no gloves"
He left them behind

It was truly a remarkable operation planned and executed by incredibly brave and well trained men who are quite possibly the best in the world at what they do.

Contrast that with the pathetic and cowardly  German response to the terrorists who kidnapped and murdered the Israeli Olympic Team in Munich.

Night and day.

When this film hits the theaters my ass will be in a seat.

Most likely to temporarily blind and disorient their intended targets.

You sure those are Maglights? I don't know what brand of lights they use/used in the UK, but, the shape of the head looks a lot like the Streamlight SL 20 I used back in the mid 80's in the BP.
Similar to this picture. It used a rechargeable, stick battery. The Achilles heel for this light was the light switch. My brand new SL 20 broke after only a few months. It was the cheap switch they came with.
