Chapter One

Few troops are able to make people so full of yearnings like the British Special Air Force. Every year, you can see two such scenes. 150 candidates with the expectation come to Herford to plan to join this elite force. But when the selection ends, fewer than 15 of them will stay.

Colonel Charles Bakerves, founder of the Delta Special Forces for American Anti-terrorist Forces, had commented on the British special air traffic mission: "In all kinds of special forces, the British special air traffic mission is the most elite in the world. The excellent one. The endurance, bravery, and wit demonstrated by this force during the battle are just like myths and legends."

There is still a gap between reality and imagination with what we know about the British special air traffic mission and the public’s interest in its special personnel system. Many soldiers attracted by the lives of special air force troops are out of the hope that they can find their place in this most outstanding force. However, these people are not the best candidates for the troops. Because the duties of soldiers wearing special aircrews berets are not to show themselves, and those who show off their elite troops often lack the discipline and judgment needed by members of the special air force. What the special aircrews are looking for is a very different person.

Become the Focus of the World--Plingsgate Incident

At the beginning of the establishment of the British special air traffic mission in the early 1940s, most of its combat life was relatively low-key to the outside world. Military historians and military fans learned about this force because of the military's military contributions in North Africa and Malaysian battlefields. For the general public, they usually do not realize that there is such a specialized military force in the United Kingdom. exist. All of this changed on May 5, 1980.

The very effective rescue operation of the Iranian embassy in Princes Gate in London made the name of the British special air traffic mission known all of a sudden. They took only 17 minutes to eliminate and control the opponent. Building. Although this action has been documented in detail, it is still worthwhile for us to revisit the situation at that time and see how this action has affected the final positioning of the British Air Transport Special Mission.

The attack on the Iranian embassy in Princesgate began on the morning of April 30, 1980. In this operation, in addition to the members of the special airline regiment, there were five terrorists who claimed to be members of the Arab Liberation Democratic Front. However, there is evidence that they are very likely to be Iraqi agents. The Arab Liberation Democratic Front is a militant organization in the Arabic-speaking region of Iran’s Arab State (also known as Khuzestan Province). Their purpose is to seek autonomy in the Iranian-Arab region. Their supporters come mainly from Libya (where their base is located) and Iraq. Their funds are heavily invested in weapons and equipment. These terrorists have Browning pistols, submachine guns, and grenades. Their goal was to select the Iranian embassy and hope to use this highly publicized hostage-taking incident to get their cause to the attention of the world (they explicitly requested Iran to release designated Arab prisoners).

There is no special arrangement for the hijacking process. A patrolman Trevor Locke was standing at the door of the embassy at the time. When the terrorists hurriedly pushed the door to enter the embassy, ​​Locke and the terrorists were on the door. The patrolman wanted to keep the terrorists out of the door, but they shot and smashed the glass of the door. Locke couldn't stop it. Although some members of the building wanted to escape when the attack was initially chaotic, the terrorists completed the first attack and hijacked 26 hostages. Deaths are not counted.

The incident is now moving in two directions. The most obvious is the preparation of the British police after the normal hostage incident. Negotiators are trying to ease the situation for more time, while police snipers and counter-terrorists are seeking storms. But behind this, the British special air traffic mission is ready. A counter-terrorism special plan team claimed that the "B" squadron's troops have been ordered by the government to stand ready to prevent the escalation of violence. When the order was issued, the special air traffic missions had already arrived in London. They had gathered here from Herford’s headquarters to gather intelligence and were ready to stand by. When Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet performed hard during this hostage incident, the dispatch of a special airline regiment became possible. In fact, Iran has already handed over the handling of the incident to the British government. This is exactly what terrorists do not want.

The remaining terrorists now occupy the telex room and begin shooting hostages with submachine guns and submachine guns.

When the hijacking took place in Princeville, the special airline regime had already begun to prepare carefully. Covert surveillance personnel provide them with intelligence. These people can use secret surveillance equipment to even track terrorist activities in the building and listen to their conversations. (This action was perfect. Even aircraft flying to Heathrow Airport were guided to low-altitude routes using aircraft engine noise to cover up the operational sounds.) Two special air mission teams, the "red team" and the "blue team" each Twenty-five people were attentively studying the details of the attack plan. The soldiers of the Royal Park military camp used burlap to build a physical model according to the internal conditions of the embassy. The members of the special air traffic mission were carrying out actual tactical drills. Weapons and carry-on equipment have undergone stringent performance checks. Special air traffic missions often call the Special Projects Team "old women" because they usually just sit around and wait for the phone to ring. However, in most cases it is possible that despite all kinds of preparations, if the phone does not ring, the group will be cancelled and returned to Herford.

But this time the phone rang, because the terrorists decided to raise their bets and prompted the British government to make a final decision. At about 7 pm on May 5, Abbas Lavasani, a senior official of the Embassy Information Service, was shot and the body was thrown out of the front door to allow the police to collect the corpse. This cruel act became the watershed of the entire hijacking. The British Cabinet approved the formal transfer of control of the hijacking incident to the British Special Air Transport Service by the police at 7.07 pm (the order was issued by a scribbled handwritten note, because the situation is urgently needed). Under the leadership of Colonel Michael Ross, the "Hunter" operation officially began.

The "Hunter" operation is the best demonstration of fighting terrorism and saving hostages in an urban environment. Tactically, the basic mode of this operation is to enter the building from three points. Eight people from the “red team” rushed into the third floor balcony behind the building (after sliding down the rope from the roof), and the other two teams attacked the fourth and fifth floors respectively (the fifth floor will pass blasting Skylight enters). The "blue team" will attack the basement and the first and second floors. When the crew of the special air service department entered the scheduled position, the leader of the terrorist, Ao Ann, was alerted to the noise around him. However, there is no room for manoeuvre. Special air traffic missions have already received instructions to start operations.

What happened next was perfect tactical action and merciless cruelty. A special crew member rushed into the building and used a sledgehammer, a portable bomb (a type of explosive device that could perform accurate blasting) and a pistol. Once inside the building, they will clean up each room in order. On the second floor, the “Blue Panel” found two terrorists, one of whom was headed by O’an, who had played with the heroic patrol officer Locke. O’an was killed on the spot and another terrorist was shot while fleeing to the door of the ambassador’s office. On the third floor, the "Red Team" swept all rooms in the same way. But when they blasted and stormed into the back office, they discovered that the terrorists had taken the hostages to the telegraph room opposite the building. It was only at this time that the most critical moment of the operation was reached. The remaining four terrorists now occupy the telegraph room and began killing hostages with pistols and assault rifles. A terrorist stupidly looked out of the window and was immediately killed by a special airstrike sniper hiding in Hyde Park. The crew of the special airliner immediately entered the room. In panic, other terrorists mixed themselves in hostages. The situation at the time was completely chaotic. Depressed hostages screamed fearfully. The members of the special air traffic missions quickly arranged their priorities, and they began to concentrate on evacuating the hostages, sending the hostages one by one to the second floor. In the process, terrorists began to reveal their original identity. One of them was found in the ready-to-noise rifle and was hit by a gunshot. The other is that terrorists were shot while they were down the stairs with the hostages. He also held a grenade in his hand.

The operation is nearing completion. All the hostages and the only surviving terrorists were evacuated to the lawn outside the embassy where the identity of everyone was confirmed. The only terrorist was isolated and no longer resisted (if it wasn't for a hostage that he was a more benevolent one among the terrorists, he might have been killed,) but waiting for his life imprisonment is definitely not Avoided. In total, two hostages were killed, one was Abbas Rawassiani, another died in the telegraph room, and two other hostages were injured. Given the firepower possessed by the terrorists, the losses were not serious. In addition to the rapid attacks and delusions that terrorists have been subjected to (plus they have actually been physically and mentally exhausted by experienced negotiators), it also shows that these terrorists are not some very experienced people.

When the last terrorist was confirmed, the assault in Princez was nearing its end. This was undoubtedly a great success for the British special air traffic mission. However, the result of this operation later affected the entire future of the force and the characteristics of the members who were recruited to join the special airline group. Unlike the previous actions of the special air traffic missions, this time a large number of media were involved. This has actually been encouraged by the government. Because if a massive bloody military operation took place in the center of London, the government wanted the public to understand the severity of the situation and needed the intervention of a special airline regiment. However, when hundreds of reporters and photographers gathered around Prince, people's attention did not focus on the event itself. All this was caused by a staff member of an independent television station in the United Kingdom facing the Iranian embassy with a video camera.

As a result, many very famous battle scenes were photographed. At the time I was just a little boy of only ten years old and I was watching TV. I clearly remembered the scene when a special airline team member wearing a black combat suit blasted behind him with a loud bang of explosives. At the wall, he immediately flew over the balcony and rushed in. If I was one of the world’s most attractive boys by these scenes, there are also many men who are excited about this. After the operation was over, the effect was that the number of people recruited to join the special airline service increased dramatically. One of the special air crew members later commented:

“Plingsgate is a turning point. It shows to those powerful figures what this army can do and what a fortune it is for this country. But this time it also brings us a hope that we can avoid. Question: In the first few years after the raid, it seems that everyone in the British military wanted to join a special airline, so we had to add an extra check on the first day to eliminate the unqualified. ."

Since the special air traffic mission became a household name hero after the Prince of the Rings incident, everyone felt that as long as they joined the army, they could bring them a social status to show off. Unfortunately, for most of them, they are completely misunderstood. Almost no one really thought about what it would take to join a special airline. Many people did not consider that this elite force needed to be kept secret. This is contrary to the desire to obtain public approval. Princesgate, it is a time to fully display the special aircrew, but it is ridiculous that it attracts those special airborne troops who do not need people.
