Ha, ha, been there, but they didn't get in and we were vewy, vewy quiet (and frankly bricking it as I was next to the door). Tw*ts parked their getaway car right next to us so the driver got a bit of a shock on the strike...........
Mind you, I really don't like doing these. Hours cramped in a van with 4 other blokes and teeth on a lead. Not good, and I always need a piss just after we've got in.............................

I used to have a water bottle marked "Piss" for just such occasions, but that's squaddies for you  .
Tony I carry a bottle now jic....................
.........the story as reported in The Daily Fail does sound rather suspect as regards the SAS........... |

Been there too. In a little van outside Trellick Towers, North London. Busy at the back watching the target address waiting for the subject and can hear the drivers door handle being tried. Peeped out the front spyhole into drivers cab and there is a guy trying his best with a slim jim.
And this had been covered at the briefing. IF he had managed to get in and start the engine, I was to wait til a certain distance before calling for back up - lest we cause a commotion and scare off our subject. He gave up after a few mins but it was a tad tense - if he had driven somewhere quiet or had mates waiting and managed to get into the back, l I had fcuk all to defend myself with ( pre CS and decent baton days ) while waiting for back-up
