May 1, 1980 – when six gunmen occupied the embassy in Kensington and threatened to blow up the building and the 20 hostages held inside by noon unless their demands were met.It was one of the most famous counter-terrorism operations in British history and after a tense siege lasting six days the crisis was resolved when the building was stormed by the Special Air Service (SAS) in front of the world's media.Robin has had an extraordinary life and has been speaking about it at events both small and large for over 10 years.Send us a text however note we cannot reply through these means.
