Bidspirit auction | SAS commander Sir Peter De

SAS commander Sir Peter De La Billiere signed 12 x 8 Iranian Embassy Siege entry photo. By the sixth day of the siege the gunmen were increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress in meeting their demands. That evening, they killed a hostage and threw his body out of the embassy. The British Special Air Service (SAS) initiated ”Operation Nimrod” to rescue the remaining hostages, abseiling from the roof and forcing entry through the windows. During the 17-minute raid they rescued all but one of the remaining hostages and killed five of the six hostage-takers. An inquest cleared the SAS of any wrongdoing. The sole remaining gunman served 27 years in prison in Britain. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
