Just browsing as you do and I've just come across this , I was stationed in 76/77 in Woodbourne Hotel ( before it became RUC Woodbourne) in Support Coy 1st Royal Welch Fusiliers , the remaining bases were also part of our TAC , I remember the flats in Lenadoon Ave well , being shot at from the flats with no hits . Glen Road usually had a bus or two burning on it and a popular escape route out of the area after an incident, the daft buggers got lifted so many times before they decided to change tactics. Woodbourne was hit a number of times during my tour and a sniper for some reason kept firing at the sanger atop around the same time very Sunday , hard to believe that it took another 30 years before the" peace" agreement was signed .

Some interesting pictures there.. Andersonstown barracks and fort Whiterock are gone now but Woodbourne is still there. I lived in Lenadoon and Twinbrook, you have pictures of both in the video. I was in Lenadoon in 84 so we may have crossed paths back in the day, who knows. I probably even threw a brick or two at you, 😉.. No hard feelings, eh!

If I was the UK Prime Minister in 1972 I would have pulled out of Ireland, whilst assisting both sides to work out a peace, (I hate war and conflict) please do not abuse me just my opinion I live a long way from the UK and Ireland.

being sentimental about being the armed wing of British politics while occupying another man's land doesn't cut it with me. So thanks for nothing. May the Lord show mercy on your soul
