On one occasion whilst I was visiting Andrew at his country house in Oxfordshire, we were talking about the firearms operation at the farmhouse, and I got the impression from the tone of Andrews voice and with what he was saying that he was or had been in touch and on speaking terms with one or more firearms officers involved during the seige and forced entry at whf at the material time? Either that, or he had seen reports written up outlining what had taken place (un edited version)? Albeit, he never actually said so, you could tell he knew much more than he was prepared to let on - at least that is the impression I was left with on the occasions I met up with him to talk over the case at his home...
