Been listening to Bravo Three Zero at work, it's the story of one of the other 2 SAS teams that were deployed into Iraq to hunt Saddam's scud missiles. It's been gripping stuff, both Powell's recollection of the patrol as well as other missions and training that he reminisces about. I have a lot more respect for Douglas Hurd now, I'd never known he'd flown into Somalia to talk with Mohamed Aidid (yes that warlord) about letting humanitarian supplies get to the people who needed them and was cool and unflappable for the entire trip, even when bullets were flying.

Overall it's well worth a listen and certainly worth picking up, the fact that they were able to perform as well as they did with such threadbare kit and poor intel (even after scrounging what they could from US special forces) is a testament to the sheer grit of the men on that patrol.
