In response to Steve-uk post #286,
It is not beyond the realms of possibility, that DCS(Ops) George HARRIS, needed to get JB away from the vicinity.
Remember, Daybreak on that morning was approx 5.30. The Raid Team was scheduled to break in at daylight! So for whatever reason, JB was offered the facility to telephone JM from the PCB in T-D.
The reason being that there is alot of noise associated with Breached Entry!!
In addition to the sound of Woodcock sledging the oaken door, breaching entry M.O., apart from the possibility of gunshot noise, advocates the creation of noise and fright, to the occupiers.
So what went on in WHF, from JB's timely temporary removal from the scene of inactivity, for the TFG to RUN RIOT IN THE PREMISES, for several hours?
